“…For every successive 10 years after age 55, the CVD rate more than doubled in both sexes.15 Compared with the age 45-54 group, the mortality rate of CVD (only including cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction) in the age 65-74 group increased 19.7 times in rural areas in Tianjin.4 This kind of increasing trend was also observed in a study of urban communities in six cities in China. 16 Hypertension was the other important risk factor for CVD mortality. Hypertension has been independently associated with CVD mortality worldwide.17-20 A history of hypertension was also reported as a primary risk factor of CVD among men in Shanghai.21 Elevated blood pressure was a firmly established risk factor for CVD mortality.19 Geographic gradient for mortality rate of CVD paralleled the prevalence of hypertension in China.2 In a 15-year cohort study conducted in Finland, according to multivariate analysis, it was found that the relative risk of CVD mortalities for people who had hypertension (SBP>=160mmHg and DBP>=95mmHg) were elevated 3.5-fold and 4.5-fold, compared to those who had normal blood pressure (SBP<160mmHg and DBP<95mmHg) in men and women.…”

involving 50,252 participants aged 40 years or older in 4 counties. Among the 3,429 deaths, 671 cases (398 males and 273 females) died of CVD. In addition, excluding 183 cases with a previous history of CVD, 632 CVD deaths out of 50,069 subjects were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. The multivariate hazard ratio (HR) for CVD mortality significantly increased in parallel with age, blood pressure and degree of liking for salty foods (p for trend<0.01). The multivariate HR for CVD mortality of ex-drinkers was 1.55 (95%Cl: 1.04, 2.31) compared with non-drinkers. The multivariate HR for CVD mortality of subjects who ate meat once or twice per month was 0.75 (95%CI: 0.62, 0.91) compared with those who never ate meat or seldom. There was no significant relationship between smoking and CVD mortality. Our results indicated that the main risk factors for CVD mortality were advancing age, high-normal blood pressure and hypertension. The risk in these areas was lower in subjects who disliked salty foods and those who ate meat once or twice per month. J Epidemiol2003;13:149-156.

“…35 The major type of stroke in Taiwan is cerebral infarction while for Japan and China, it is cerebral haemorrhage. 36,37 In Japan twice as many men (2.1) and women (2.6) die from stroke as from CAD. Chonghna et al 38 found that the incidence of stroke is four times that of acute myocardial infarction in some areas of China.…”

Reliable statistics related to the prevalence, incidence and mortality of hypertension and stroke are not available from Asia. The data may be in national or institutional reports or journals published in the local language only. The mortality rate for stroke has been on the decline since the mid 1960s in the developed countries of Asia, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, with some improvement in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, some areas of China and Malaysia about 15 years later. In India, China, Phillippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal, there has been a rapid increase in stroke mortality and prevalence of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension according to new criteria (Ͼ140/90 mm Hg) varies between 15-35% in urban adult populations of Asia. In rural populations, the prevalence is two to three times lower than in urban subjects.

Purpose: Stroke is the third most common cause of mortality worldwide and is a major cause of permanent disability. The purposed of the study was to better understand the risk factors for poor outcomes following ischemic stroke requiring treatment. Methods:Three hundred seventy patients with first-event ischemic stroke were enrolled. Good outcomes was defined as a using the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) score ≤3 without any cardiovascular event, while poor outcomes were any of the following end points: MRS >3 at 3 months, recurrent stroke or death. Prognostic variables for poor outcomes were analyzed based on a stepwise logistic regression model.Results: Seventy-eight patients had poor outcomes (21%, 78/370), assessed at a minimum of six-month follow-up. Higher mean National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at presentation, presence of early neurologic deterioration (END) and higher mean high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were associated with poor outcomes at discharge. Furthermore, both NIHSS at presentation and the presence of END were associated with poor outcomes, assessed at a minimum of six-month follow-up.Conclusion: A higher mean initial NIHSS score implies not only severe neurologic deficits but also an increased risk of poor outcomes. Since END following ischemic stroke is frequently associated with poor outcomes, more attention should be directed to providing adequate treatment to patients in the acute stage, especially for high risk patients.
