According to the relevant data report, stroke is cerebral infarction, and it is also a disease with a very high premature death and incidence in China, and the number of deaths due to cerebral infarction in China accounts for 22 of the total mortality rate of Chinese residents every year3%。
In particular, the mortality rate and prevalence of cerebral infarction in rural areas are significantly higher than those in urban areas, which seriously threatens people's health, which also makes people feel very incomprehensible, why the incidence of cerebral infarction in rural areas is getting higher and higherWhat are the reasons for this?
Cerebral infarction can be divided into lacunar cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism and cerebral thrombosis are not the same severity, if it is only lacunar cerebral infarction, the clinical symptoms may not be particularly obvious, after **, generally there will be no sequelae.
If there is a cerebral thrombosis or cerebral embolism, the clinical symptoms can be very serious and may even threaten the person's life.
1.Nausea and vomiting
The main reason why the core and vomiting are prone to occur is that the brain cells are in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which can easily cause edema.
Once a cerebral infarction is found, it is easy to increase intracranial pressure to varying degrees because the infarction will compress the surrounding brain tissue. If there is no effective relief, in addition to nausea and vomiting, brain herniation may also occur.
2.Shortness of breath
In addition to rapid heartbeat, patients with atrial fibrillation also experience some symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, etc. If you have only done light physical activity but you have some symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing, you should also be vigilant.
3.Drowsiness after eating
In general, patients with cerebral infarction began to be sleepy in the morning, and the phenomenon before lunch was improved, and the drowsiness state after lunch was improved. This phenomenon is taken seriously and may be a precursor to cerebral infarction. If there is no cause such as fatigue or lack of sleep, it may be cerebral arteriosclerosis and ischemia.
4.Numbness of the limbs
Occasional numbness in the hands and feet, which may be temporary compression, obstruction of blood circulation, can slowly return to normal. However, if one side of the body is felt, one must be vigilant. Patients with cerebral infarction often have this symptom in the early stage, and they are unstable when walking, and the body cannot control it, so they must be diagnosed in the hospital immediately.
1.Age stratification in rural areas is uneven
In an ideal age distribution, children, adults, and older people should be evenly distributed within a region, however, in rural areas, older people make up a larger proportion of the rural population as most young people go out to work and take their children with them.
As older people age, their physical performance gradually declines, and the elasticity of blood vessels decreases, which increases their risk of cardiovascular disease.
Due to the relative scarcity of medical resources in rural areas, many elderly people in rural areas cannot get timely and effective medical resources, which makes their conditions aggravated and even life-threatening.
2.Life stresses and environmental factors
The economic development in rural areas is relatively lagging behind, and the peasants' long working hours and high fatigue, coupled with the heavy work and housework of rural families, make the peasants' work pressure relatively great. Facing this high-pressure living state for a long time can easily lead to cerebrovascular diseases in farmers.
In addition, poor sanitation in rural areas, polluted drinking water sources and poor indoor air quality also increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
3.Unhealthy lifeHabit
In rural areas, people's lifestyles often lack regularity, unreasonable diet, lack of exercise, and are accompanied by bad habits such as smoking and drinking. These unhealthy lifestyle habits can lead to abnormal lipid metabolism and hardening of blood vessels in the body, which increases the incidence of cerebral infarction.
In addition, due to the relatively poor medical conditions in rural areas, many people do not pay enough attention to chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, which also lays a hidden danger for the occurrence of cerebral infarction.
1.Improve your diet
In winter, when the weather is cold, many elderly people will stew meat soup at home and drink it, although these soups can nourish the body, they are also high-fat and high-calorie foods.
Drinking too much will increase blood lipid levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with chronic diseases should drink less soup and eat more fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables.
2.Exercise appropriately
Proper exercise can not only enhance immunity, but also promote blood circulation, lower blood cholesterol, enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce arteriosclerosis and other benefits.
In the cold winter, the elderly should minimize outdoor activities, and if they have the habit of morning exercise, they should try to go out laterIt is important to wear a hat, scarf, and other cold protection when going out.
When exercising, it is necessary to prevent overexertion and excessive exertion, and try to choose moderate and light exercises, such as brisk walking, jogging, tai chi, etc.
3.Maintain a good mindset
As they get older, many seniors will always be cranky, worrying about whether they will be able to make it through this year. As a result, feeling too anxious can lead to an increase in blood pressure. Keep your emotions under control, don't be cranky, don't worry too much, and avoid too much emotional fluctuation.
4.Take your medication regularly
For patients with chronic diseases, it is necessary to pay attention to taking medication regularly, and do not increase or decrease drugs without authorization because of blood pressure fluctuations, which can easily lead to large blood pressure fluctuations, which is more likely to lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
In addition, for the elderly with chronic diseases, some emergency medicines should be prepared at home in winter, such as nitroglycerin, fast-acting Xingxin pills, Angong Niuhuang pills, etc. The use of some emergency medication according to the emergency situation may be effective in saving a life.
5.Drink plenty of water
To prevent cerebral infarction, you are advised to drink more water, the operation of human organs needs the support of water, and an adult consumes about 2000ml of water in a day. The body's ability to hydrate, blood circulation, and detoxification are enhanced. When drinking water, put some tea with the effect of nourishing blood vessels, and the effect of drinking water will be better.
Conclusion: The increase in cerebral infarction among rural people is a complex social problem involving many reasons. By understanding these causes and taking proactive preventive measures, it can help reduce the risk of cerebral infarction in rural areas.
It is hoped that the majority of rural residents can pay attention to their own health and actively take preventive measuresAt the same time, all sectors of society should also strengthen the investment in medical resources and health education in rural areas, and jointly contribute to reducing the incidence and mortality of cerebral infarction.
