"Global Study Links Climate Change to Rising Stroke Deaths"

A new study published in Neurology suggests that extreme temperature fluctuations linked to climate change may be a factor in roughly half a million deaths and cases of disability from stroke worldwide over the past three decades. While the study doesn't directly prove climate change causes stroke, it found an association between non-optimal temperatures and increased death and disability due to stroke. Both cold and hot temperatures were linked to stroke-related deaths, with older populations and areas with health care disparities being particularly affected. The study highlights the potential impact of climate change on public health and underscores the need for further research and awareness.
