Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Stroke (stroke) is a serious clinical condition, associated with high mortality rates and permanent disabilities. Although traditionally related to aging, the progressive increase in cases among young adults has raised concern, due to the social, economic and functional implications resulting from this disease in this age group. OBJECTIVE: To identify the main risk factors associated with Stroke in young people, based on an integrative review of the scientific literature. METHODOLOGY: This is a literature narrative, with searches carried out in the MEDLINE, LILACS, IBECS and BDENF databases, accessed through the Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The studies analyzed pointed out several risk factors, with emphasis on cardiovascular conditions, metabolic changes and unhealthy lifestyles. It was observed that the presence of comorbidities, such as systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemias, associated with habits such as sedentary lifestyle, smoking and inadequate diet, significantly increases the risk of stroke in this population. In this sense, early interventions, even during youth, are essential for the prevention of adverse outcomes in adulthood. CONCLUSION: The awareness of young people about modifiable risk factors, combined with the encouragement of the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits, is configured as a fundamental strategy for the prevention of stroke and for the promotion of cardiovascular health in this population.
