Disabilities

Can I catch it?

Stroke

No! No one can catch a stroke. Most strokes happen to people when they are over 50 years old. If one of your parents has had a stroke, you may be a little bit more likely to have one when you are older, but you can make yourself much less likely to have one by eating healthily, not smoking and avoiding binge drinking.
