Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the American Stroke Association, approximately 85% of all strokes are caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, which can be a result of a clot or severe narrowing of the arteries. The other types mentioned in the options (blood vessels bursting and leakage of blood into the brain) are less common and account for the remaining 15% of strokes. Vascular cognitive impairment is not a cause of stroke but rather a form of dementia that can occur after a stroke.
