Hip Hop legend Snoop Dog’s youngest daughter Cori Broadus, 24, suffered a massive stroke earlier today Media Take Out has confirmed.
Cori, who put on a significant amount of weight in the past few years, was an otherwise healthy young lady.
Young and middle-aged people may look and feel healthy—and they may believe they are safe from major cardiovascular events. But new research from the American Heart Association shows the rate of stroke has been steadily rising among Americans younger than 49 for the past 30 years.
Some rare conditions can predispose some people to stroke at a young age. But most risk factors for stroke in young adults are similar to those in older adults: high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and obesity. These conditions are becoming more and more common among younger Americans.
The health conditions that lead to stroke and strokes themselves are more prevalent in traditionally disenfranchised populations. We are seeing even higher rates in populations of African descent, Hispanic descent, and East Asian populations. In addition, the South and mid-South represent the ‘Stroke Belt’ in the United States due to a confluence of socioeconomic, racial, demographic, and lifestyle factors.”
Here’s a more recent picture of Cori.
