What a generic waste of print/press release. Or do you need a 100% or more risk reduction from these 11 possibilities that actually point to research?

Getting more exercise, giving up cigarettes and monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure are a few steps Americans can take to reduce their risk of stroke, says Doojin Kim, MD, a neurologist at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica who often treats patients who have suffered a stroke, the No. 4 cause of death and the No. 1 cause of adult disability in the U.S.
"Although most people have heard the list of risk factors before, it never hurts to provide a reminder because we often think, 'It can't happen to me.' The reality is, it can," said Kim, adding that equally important is a refresher on the signs of stroke and the urgency of taking immediate action.
