For more than two decades, David G. Bohn of Redding, CT, has served as president of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation. Outside of his professional life, David G. Bohn supports numerous charitable organizations, including the American Heart Association. According to a recent study published by the American Heart Association, the incidence of stroke continues to decrease in people over the age of 55, while those between 35 and 39 years old are experiencing twice as many strokes as in recent years. The Centers for Disease Control says that the decrease in stroke rate among older Americans is likely due to decreases in smoking and lower rates of high blood pressure, as well as cholesterol levels. Researchers examined stroke rates in younger people, however, and found that they are rising, though they are unable to pinpoint exactly why. Some of the data used in the study is administrative in nature, meaning that researchers did not have access to information about which symptoms and criteria doctors utilized in diagnosing strokes. More research is necessary to determine risk factors that are increasing stroke rates in the 35 to 39 age range. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Shearing-Plough Foundation provided funding for the research study.
