Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke?

Yes. Reference and official sources state directly that high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke, and a large meta-analysis of young adults reports raised blood pressure is associated with stroke.
