I had a TIA(mini-stroke) a few years ago in my early 20s.

From what I understand: strokes are not more dangerous with age, but are much more likely to happen as you age.

I was told that the the risk factor is a matter of how quickly the stroke is identified and how quickly you are able to receive medical care after the onset. Faster response == less time for brain matter to die due lack of blood.
