“…This increase with advancing age has been observed in many studies. 5,16 Our study also showed a male preponderance among stroke patients. Other studies have demonstrated the increase is generally greater in males below 65 years of age than females in the same age group, but equalises with increasing age.…”

“…(14) A community-based survey in Kolkata revealed a stroke prevalence rate of 545 per 100,000 population, which is equal to or higher than that reported from developed countries. 15,16 With an increase in life expectancy resulting in an increase in the size of the population at risk an increase in the prevalence of stroke is expected in India.…”

Background: With increase in prevalence of stroke and life expectancy the quality of life of stroke survivors assumes importance. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular accidents the survivors continue to experience low Quality of life (QoL) especially in developing countries. The objective of this study was to assess the quality of life among stroke survivors and the prevalence of depression among them. Methods: Cross-sectional population based study was conducted in a rural area of North Kerala. Stoke survivors were interviewed at home to assess the quality of life and depression status. QOL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), functional status using the modified barthel index (MBI), and mood using the Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI).Results: A total of 40 patients (65.5% men, mean age 70.58±10.7 years) were interviewed. The mean MBI was 55.25±2.79, and the prevalence of unrecognized depression was 90%. 95 percent of patients needed varying degrees of care for their activities of daily living. The SF-36 scores of the patients were considerably lower than that to that of the general population especially in the areas of role limitation and physical functioning. Depression was more among older subjects and Depressed patients had lower MBI scoresConclusions: A significant proportion of stroke survivors continue to face limitations in their physical activities. In addition, majority have unrecognised depression that affects their QOL adversely.

“…There have been many studies on the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) with widely varying annual incidences 2,3,6,[8][9][10][11][12] . The overall incidence of SAH was approximately 10 to 11 cases per 100,000 persons per year but varies significantly by region, with doubled rates in Japan and Finland and far lower rates in South and Central America 3,[8][9][10][11] .…”

Objective : The incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) worldwide varies considerably. In spite of many reports about the incidence of SAH, there has been no report about the incidence of SAH on the basis of the Korean population. The purpose of this hospital-based study was to assess the actual incidence rates of aneurysmal SAH in Gwangju city and Jeollanamdo province. Methods : All cases of SAH confirmed by computerized tomography (CT) between January 2007 and December 2007 were selected for analysis. For the data collection, three major training hospital and ten general hospitals working the CT in Gwangju city and four major general hospitals in Jeollanamdo province participate in this study. Results : According to the official census of Korea, the population was 1,413,444 in Gwangju city and 1,929,836 in Jeollanamdo province in 2007. There were 163 patients in Gwangju city and 266 patients in Jeollanamdo province confirmed SAH by CT in 2007. The crude and the ageand sex-adjusted annual incidence rates per 100,000 population for all ages in Gwangju city were 11.5 and 12.4 for aneurysmal SAH and in Jeollanamdo province were 13.8 and 10.8. The incidence was higher in women and increased with age. The gender distribution varied with age. At young ages, the incidence was higher in men while after the age of 40 years, the incidence was higher in women. Conclusion : In the present study, the age-and sex-adjusted annual incidence rates is 11.8 in Gwangju city and Jeollanamdo province. The incidence was higher in women and increased with age.

Declining Incidence and Mortality Rates of Stroke in Finland From 1972 to 1991

Abstract: The decline in the stroke incidence rate during the 1970s stabilized during the late 1980s and early 1990s; however, the case-fatality rate is still decreasing. Their combined effects may explain the continuing decline in stroke mortality.
