World Stroke Organization Links Climate Change to Increased Stroke Risk

A scientific statement from the World Stroke Organization highlights climate change as an increasing threat to brain health, linking extreme heat, rapid temperature shifts, humidity changes, and air pollution to higher stroke risk. These environmental factors can cause dehydration, blood thickening, and elevated blood pressure, which raise stroke likelihood and severity. Older adults, outdoor workers, and populations in low- and middle-income countries are particularly vulnerable. The report emphasizes that climate instability and compound weather events exacerbate these health risks.
