Key Points

  • The study aims to explore the differences in risk profiles between posterior and anterior circulation strokes in younger adults.
  • Conducted a prospective cohort study in Western India
  • Analyzed demographic and health data of stroke patients
  • Identified modifiable metabolic and vascular risk factors
  • Younger individuals are more affected by posterior circulation strokes
  • Distinct metabolic and vascular risk factors were identified for each stroke type
  • Findings point towards the need for targeted screening and prevention strategies

Abstract

PCS affect a younger demographic and are independently associated with modifiable metabolic and vascular risk factors. Their atypical presentation and distinct risk profile call for targeted screening and prevention strategies, particularly in younger Indian adults.
