The traditional risk factors for stroke are increasing age, being male - men have more strokes than women - cigarette smoking is a very strong one and blood pressure is probably the strongest consistent factor,

There was no significant difference in risk between men who quit smoking and those who continued to smoke.

The increased risk was higher if you didn't have severe blood pressure, so presumably in people who've already got bad blood pressure, that's the main risk factor,

In both men and women, there was an approximately 70 percent increase in the risk of bleeding associated with the taking of aspirin. And it is known that the bleeding risk associated with aspirin is dose-related.

A weapon men use against women is the refusal to take them seriously.

I don't want any more of our young men and women to die in this war. It was a bad war from the start, and it's a bad war now. It was based on lies.
