​Preventing the stroke of bad luck

Asia Biotech, 8 May

While stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, many continue to associate the disease with old age. A recent survey conducted by a campaign group of undergraduates from NTU in Singapore found about two-thirds (66 per cent) of young adults in Singapore are unable to identify any common symptoms of stroke. The study surveyed over 400 working young adults aged 25 to 34. Led by four final-year undergraduates from NTU's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, the campaign seeks to educate and empower young adults to become more informed about stroke and take early preventive measures against stroke.
