Black people’s risk factors for stroke ‘rising faster than for white people’
The News
An analysis by King's College London of data from over 8,500 adults over 30 years found that stroke risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes are increasing more rapidly among Black African and Caribbean people compared to white people. The study, based on the South London Stroke Register, highlights growing health disparities in stroke risk. This matters because it indicates a need for targeted interventions to address these rising risk factors in specific ethnic groups.
