Jackie P Hunter: Black Women, Stroke Risk, and a Very Real Awareness Gap
Jackie P Hunter, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at The Unbound Collective Group LLC, shared on LinkedIn:
”It’s Stroke Awareness Month, and the data for Black women demands our attention.
- Black women are 2x more likely to have a stroke than white women.
- Black women ages 50–59 face up to 3.5x the stroke risk of white women the same age.
- Stroke is the N3 cause of death among women – killing over 90,000 annually.
- Up to 80% of strokes are preventable.
The disparity is real. The gap in awareness is real.
But so is the power of information.
This May, know your numbers especially your blood pressure.
Talk to your doctor. Share this with someone you love.
Because awareness saves lives.
Statistics sourced from the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.”
