Suffering from an inflammatory bowel condition could increase your chance of stroke in later life, according to a new study.
Research, published in the journal Neurology, suggests that those with the condition also known as IBD are 13 per cent more likely to experience a stroke.
Inflammatory bowel disease includes the likes of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with the study participants suffering with either condition. The study found that those with IBD had a higher risk of stroke up to 25 year after being diagnosed, highlighting the link between the two health issues.
