Some risk factors that can contribute to mini-strokes include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking. Therefore, regular medical evaluations are essential to monitor and control these risk factors in the older population. Brain health education and symptom identification are critical steps in prevention.
Finally, it is imperative that families and communities report the signs of a mini-stroke. Educational campaigns can make a difference in early recognition of symptoms, leading to prompt and appropriate intervention. Awareness and action can save lives and improve the quality of life of older people.
