Therefore, with collective efforts, we can <strong>Be #GreaterThan Stroke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea to celebrate this day came into action in 2004. In 2006, the World Stroke Organization launched the first WSD. Since then it has been marked as an annual global event in over 170 countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, a new theme is selected by the WSO that focuses on variable aspects of the prevention and treatment of stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WSO has also developed a FAST Test which is an easy way to analyze the symptoms of stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FAST Test is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Face drooping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arm weakness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speech difficulty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time to call 911<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-is-world-stroke-day-celebrated\">When is World Stroke Day Celebrated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an annual event that holds great significance in the field of <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/blog\/category\/healthcare\/\"><strong>healthcare<\/strong><\/a>.

He is a stroke expert and was concerned about the high stroke rates in the world, limited resources and lack of knowledge also contribute to higher death rates due to stroke. So, his idea was to raise global awareness about the severity of the stroke and educate people about the methods to prevent stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f78da838\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-no-tobacco-day\/\"><strong>World No Tobacco Day 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Global Stroke Alliance 2023\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i4XndN6AfKs?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Source: World Stroke Organization<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-world-stroke-day-2023-theme\">World Stroke Day 2023 Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme for this year&#8217;s World Stroke Day is <strong>\u201cTogether We Can Be #GreaterThan Stroke\u201d<\/strong>.

Smokers are more prone to having a stroke because it affects the cholesterol level in the body. Smoking tobacco tends to increase the level of LDL and decrease the level of HDL cholesterol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The major reason for stroke is hypertension or high blood pressure. When the blood supply to the brain is cut off due to the rupturing of arteries, the formation of blood clots leads to brain haemorrhage, and then a person experiences a stroke. So it is important to maintain normal blood pressure i.e. 120\/80 to prevent stroke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f78da838\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/student-life-abroad-benefits-of-exercise-for-students\/\"><strong>Benefits of Exercise<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Relevant Blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#9b51e033\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-down-syndrome-day\/\"><strong>World Down Syndrome Day<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-contraception-day\/\"><strong>World Contraception Day 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-heart-day\/\"><strong>World Heart Day<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-pharmacists-day-celebration\/\"><strong>World Pharmacists Day Celebration 2023<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-thinking-day\/\"><strong>World Thinking Day<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-food-day\/\"><strong>World Food Day<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/world-cerebral-palsy-day\/\"><strong>World Cerebral Palsy Day<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/trending-events\/prevention-of-blindness-week\/\"><strong>Prevention of Blindness Week&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697715689254\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q1.
