Iron deficiency
Low iron levels can raise your risk of stroke by making your blood stickier, a new study indicates.Typically, blood vessels in the lungs don't allow clots to enter the arteries. But in these patients, clots can escape the lungs, travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Those who had an iron deficiency had stickier platelets -- which are small blood cells that trigger clotting when they stick together -- and were more likely to suffer a stroke. Platelets in the blood stick together more if you are short of iron, we think this may explain why being short of iron can lead to strokes
Even those with moderately low iron levels were about twice as likely to suffer a stroke as those with iron levels in the middle of the normal range.
Iron deficiency affects about 2 billion people worldwide. It may be a risk factor for stroke, but how iron deficiency could boost stroke risk was unknown. more
