Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Age-specific risk factor targeting—specifically smoking cessation in the young and hypertension/diabetes control in the elderly—is highlighted as an effective strategy to reduce ischemic stroke burden.
Smoking cessation in young people and hypertension and diabetes control in older people may be effective in reducing the burden of stroke on the population. In the elderly, secondary prevention could also be emphasized.
