Primary and Secondary Stroke Prevention: How High-Risk Groups Can Manage Their Health Scientifically

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In China, the lifetime risk for individuals aged 25 and above is approximately 40%, with an increasingly younger onset age. Prevention includes primary and secondary strategies: primary prevention targets high-risk individuals before stroke occurs, while secondary prevention focuses on those who have already had a stroke, aiming to reduce recurrence and disability rates.

Primary prevention focuses on controlling risk factors: managing blood pressure, lipids, and glucose; quitting smoking and limiting alcohol; maintaining regular sleep schedules; and undergoing periodic screening for carotid plaques. Secondary prevention emphasizes combining standardized medication, rehabilitation training, and long-term follow-up care.

For individuals in recovery, daily health management is just as critical as clinical treatment. Kebeijia conducts research and product development focused on vascular rejuvenation, covering both primary prevention (early TIA/RIND) and secondary prevention (recovery and post-stroke phases).
