Until recently, most of the research on strokes has been done by men, on men. Yet, much like heart attacks in women, we are more at risk after menopause, thanks to declining hormone levels and the rise of other conditions that increase the risk of a stroke, like high blood pressure.
Researchers at the City of Hope published their study examining 105,614 women over two decades. The research was some of the first of its kind, specifically looking at women and the relationship between diet and types of stroke.
