Neurology: 20 years of follow-up, what factors affect the risk of stroke

The United States (US) population and the populations of many other high-income countries are aging and living longer, so aging-related diseases, including ischemic stroke, will become more and more important

A recent meta-analysis of trend data on stroke incidence in 13 population-based studies conducted in high-income countries (mainly in Europe) reported a 28% overall decline in stroke rates from the 1990s to the 2010s

In the United States, although there are administrative data and quality improvement registers, there is no nationwide stroke trend data

Currently, there is a lack of data on contemporary stroke incidence trends.

However, this difference persists.

In this way, Lynda D.

These data come from a population-based stroke monitoring study conducted in Nueces County, Texas, USA, which is a geographically isolated, bi-ethnic urban community

They found that among the 45-59 year-olds, the proportion of non-Hispanic whites increased (104.

In the 60-74 year-old population, the ratio of both groups declined, but the decline was even greater for Mexican Americans (non-Hispanic whites -18.

Among people ≥75 years of age, the trend does not differ by race, and both groups have declined (non-Hispanic whites -33.

In the two larger age groups, males (60-74 years old -25.

The previously recorded racial stroke incidence difference has ended, as the incidence of Mexican Americans has declined, and the incidence of non-Hispanic whites has increased, most notably in middle age
