Select age group
Under 40
40-59
60+
Sex
i

Male
Female
BMI Category
i
๐ Formula: BMI = weight (kg) รท (height (cm) รท 100)ยฒ Example: If weight = 70 kg and height = 175 cm, then: โก BMI = 70 รท (175 รท 100)ยฒ = 22.86
Select BMI category
Underweight (<18.5)
Normal (18.5-24.9)
Overweight (25-29.9)
Obese (โฅ30)
Cholesterol Level
i
High cholesterol leads to atherosclerosis. Total cholesterol >200 mg/dL increases stroke risk by 25%.
Select cholesterol level
Normal (<200 mg/dL)
Borderline High (200-239 mg/dL)
High (โฅ240 mg/dL)
Blood Pressure Category
i
Hypertension is the #1 modifiable stroke risk factor. BP โฅ140/90 doubles stroke risk compared to normal BP.
Select blood pressure
Normal (<120 mmHg)
Elevated (120-159 mmHg)
High (โฅ160 mmHg)
Atrial Fibrillation
i
AFib increases stroke risk 5-fold by causing blood clots in the heart that can travel to the brain.
No
Yes
Diabetes
i
Diabetes doubles stroke risk and makes outcomes worse. High blood sugar damages blood vessels over time.
No
Yes
Smoking Status
i
Smoking doubles stroke risk by damaging blood vessels and increasing clot formation. Risk drops significantly within 2-5 years of quitting.
Never
Current/Former
Previous Stroke/TIA
i
Previous stroke increases risk of another stroke by 15-40% in the first year. TIAs indicate 10-20% stroke risk within 90 days.
