There are many causes of stroke, including underlying medical conditions, excessive fatigue, depression, and long-term smoking and alcohol consumption in daily life. Underlying conditions include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease. To prevent stroke, it is recommended to have regular medical check-ups at the hospital, identify any health issues early, and receive timely treatment. It's important to develop healthy lifestyle habits, avoid staying up late, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption as much as possible, and reduce intake of greasy and processed foods.
