The risk factors for Cerebrovascular Disease are evident; epidemiologically, in 22 countries around the world and account for 88.1% of all strokes. Materials and Methods: This is an analytical, observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study. Analyzing the variables that allow us to make associations at a Relational Level with the study of cases and controls. Results: The studied population presented a frequency of male in 52 (57.1%) patients and female in 39 (42.9%) patients. The average age of 30.38 years (standard deviation of 5,658 years), a minimum age of 21 years and a maximum of 40 years. A frequency of arterial hypertension was found in 33 cases (36.3%), smoking with 33 cases (36.3%), hyperlipidemia with 12 cases (13.2%) and atrial fibrillation with 11 cases (12.1%). Conclusions: The risk factors present in the study population were arterial hypertension and smoking in a third of the patients, and hyperlipidemia and atrial fibrillation in one out of every nine patients. No statistically significant differences were found in the risk factors present between male or female patients, or in relation to the age of the patients
