Health experts have issued a chilling warning to the public over a “shocking” spike in strokes among “healthy” young people.
The “alarming” surge was identified in official UK government data.
The data shows that recorded cases of deadly strokes skyrocketed in 2023 and continued soaring this year.
In 2023/24, the data shows more than 12,500 British people in their 50s suffered the life-altering and potentially fatal condition.
By comparison, the figure stood at just over 8,000 in 2004/2005.
The increase marks a spike of 55 percent in two decades.
The trend far outpaces the 28 percent rise across all ages over the same period.
Experts said the “alarming” trends showed that the condition is no longer just a risk for the elderly.
