“…The turning point of the transition from infectious diseases to nontransmissible diseases in Brazil occurred in the 1960s considering the whole country. However, considering the main cities, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, since the end of the World War II, cerebrovascular disease mortality rates have surpassed ‘old cardiovascular diseases’ such as rheumatic heart disease and syphilis aortic disease (7). Further, in the 1960s, the number of CHD deaths exceeded the number of stroke deaths in these cities.…”

“…Acompanhando a transição demográfica, observou-se mudança no perfil de mortalidade, com predomínio, desde os anos 40, das doenças cardiovasculares em centros como São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro e, a partir de 1960, em todo país (Lotufo, 2005a (Lotufo, 2005b). A taxa de mortalidade elevada por doença cerebrovascular permite supor que as conseqüências dos eventos cerebrovasculares também sejam elevadas, como é o caso dos distúrbios cognitivos motores, e em especial, da demência associada à doença cerebrovascular (Veermer et al, 2003).…”

“…O Brasil tem taxas elevadas de mortalidade por doença cerebrovascular (Lotufo, 2005a) sendo esta, a principal responsável pelas internações hospitalares no país -28,8% (Brasil, 2004). A proporção de mortes por doença cerebrovascular é maior entre as mulheres, principalmente as de meia idade, porém a diferença do risco de morte entre os sexos aumenta com a idade, tendo valores maiores nos homens (Lotufo, 2005b) e, na raça negra (Lotufo et al, 2007 (Wolf et al, 1991).…”
