Stroke rates among adults ages 20 to 54 nearly doubled between 1993 and 2020, according to a study in the medical journal Neurology. The rate climbed from 33.9 cases per 100,000 people to 62.2, a jump of about 83% — while stroke rates among adults 55 and older fell from 618.78 to 453 per 100,000 over the same period.
