Dehydration can potentially increase the risk of strokes, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. When the body is dehydrated, blood viscosity increases, which can lead to reduced blood flow and higher chances of clot formation. Additionally, dehydration can disrupt electrolyte balance and impair cardiovascular function, further elevating stroke risk. However, while dehydration is a contributing factor, it is not a direct cause of strokes on its own.
