Based on a modified Framingham model, this tool assesses 8 key risk factors to estimate your 10-year stroke risk. Results are for reference only — not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis.
A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, causing brain tissue damage. Globally, 1 in 6 people will experience a stroke in their lifetime. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide.
Ischemic Stroke (~87%): A blood clot blocks a vessel supplying the brain.
Hemorrhagic Stroke (~13%): A weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain.
Remember FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services. Time is brain!
Key risk factors assessed: Age (risk doubles every 10 years), Hypertension (most important modifiable factor), Diabetes, Smoking, Cardiovascular disease history, and Atrial fibrillation. Controlling blood pressure below 120/80 can reduce stroke risk by about 40%.
