There is some evidence to suggest that the incidence of strokes may be influenced by seasonal variations, with a slightly higher occurrence reported during winter months.

Preventing strokes during winter involves addressing factors that may be exacerbated by colder temperatures and seasonal conditions. Here are some methods to reduce the risk of stroke.
