Ischemic stroke is caused by blocked blood flow to the brain and is the most common type of stroke. Intracerebral hemorrhage is caused by bleeding in the brain.
“Our study shows that higher estrogen levels are associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, due to a number of reproductive factors,” said study author Paige Song.
The study included 122,939 postmenopausal women with a mean age of 58 years living in China who had not had a stroke at the start of the study.
It turned out that women with the longest reproductive life (a large amount of estrogen is produced during this time) had a 5% lower risk of ischemic stroke and a 13% lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage compared to women with the lowest reproductive lifespan. lifetime.
