ABSTRACT
Ischemic strokes are responsible for 87 percent of all strokes. Ischemic stroke incidence, pathogenesis, and treatment effectiveness are all influenced by age and gender. Because the impact of sex on stroke risk and prognosis changes over time, sex differences in ischemic stroke epidemiology are dependent on patient age. Males had a greater incidence of ischemic stroke and lower functional results than females in childhood and early adulthood. Ischemic stroke is caused by age, which is a substantial and non-modifiable risk factor. Because women are older at the time of stroke start than men, age-related variations in the modifiable risk factor profile of male and female patients may explain some of the sex disparities in stroke incidence and outcomes. Despite the fact that males have greater ischemic stroke rates over the most of their adult lives, ischemic stroke rates rise in middle-aged women as a result of menopause and the accompanying reduction in female sex hormones.
