Female cancer patients’ stats:

47.9% for hypertension, 35.8% for physical inactivity, for obesity it was 18.6%, the poor diet consisted of 23.2%, 9.1% due to heart (cardiac) causes, 12.4% for smoking, 26.8% for lipids, 5.8% of both alcohol intake and stress and 3.9% for diabetes.

Many of the factors in the PAR is known to be associated with each other and produce the same result in all men and women, age group, and religion.

On talking about this latest study, the professor added that there had been calls to action for primary prevention for a while, but now is the time for individuals, organizations, and government to collectively take some action to save all from the burden of strokes.
