Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, are associated with increased risks of death from stroke, with the link being stronger in lowincome countries than highincome ones, new research has found.
The study, led by Harvard University, analysed deaths due to stroke reported between 1979 and 2019 across 522 cities in 25 countries. About 34 lakh deaths from ischaemic stroke and 24 lakh deaths due to haemorrhagic stroke were examined, with the data being taken from the MultiCountry Multi-City Network, a global environmental health consortium.
An ischaemic stroke occurs when clotting prevents blood from reaching the brain, while a haemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood vessel in the brain begins to bleed.
