According to the New York Times, those living in the "stroke belt" are also more likely to suffer cognitive difficulties. Previous studies have shown that those who live in the southern part of the U.S. have greater rates of strokes, including death. A stroke can be disabling and leave an individual unable to work. This may qualify you to receive Social Security disability benefits.
States with the Highest Rates of Stroke
A new study is now showing that these same states may have a greater likelihood of experiencing a decline in cognitive ability over a period of several years. They found specific problems with orientation and memory.
Researchers now plan to investigate what could be the potential causes for these health risks, with considerations such as the type of food being eaten, to the availability of quality healthcare.
If you have been diagnosed with a severe health condition that prevents you from working and has caused you to become permanently disabled, then you should seek legal help. A Miami Gardens Social Security disability lawyer can determine eligibility for benefits or assist you with appealing a claim that has been denied.
