A new study finds strokes in young adults are steadily rising, nearly doubling over the past three decades, even though most people only worry about cardiovascular health later in life. Commenters sharing the finding are urging younger people to pay attention to stroke risk factors early rather than assuming heart and vascular disease is an older person's problem.

Why now: The counterintuitive rise of strokes among young adults challenges the common assumption that cardiovascular disease only affects older people.
