“…The study revealed a stroke prevalence rate of 1.5 percent in North-Eastern Indian states. This finding is noteworthy, as it closely aligns with the national prevalence of 1.7 percent, as reported in an LASI study 39 and another study from India using SAGE data showed a national prevalence of 2 percent 40 . Anand et al (2001) noted a prevalence of 203 per 100,000 population, equating to approximately one million cases in the country 41 .…”

Stroke is a significant cause of mortality and disability in India, with its economic impact on the rise. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with stroke among the elderly population in seven north-eastern states of India and its economic consequences. Data from the initial phase of the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (2017–2018) were utilized, and bivariate and multivariate analyses were done. Stroke prevalence (1.53%) was notable among both genders, with approximately 1% in females and 2.3% in males. Individuals with low physical activity, higher socio-economic status, and unemployment faced a higher risk of stroke. Females exhibited a 60% lower likelihood [AOR 0.40; (CI 0.250–0.627)] of stroke compared to males and hypertension was a significant risk factor. Stroke patients incur up to INR 50,000 of financial burden, with a considerable proportion facing disability in comprehension and speech. The economic burden of stroke-related hospitalization was significantly high, emphasizing the need for government-funded health insurance to cover stroke-related medications and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for patients seeking treatment in healthcare facilities. The study highlights the urgency for better schemes to address the growing threat of strokes in the north-eastern parts of India for comprehensively tackling this public health challenge.

“…These results did not suggest a definite association between PA and the reduced risk of stroke. However, previous studies 2–5 have consistently suggested that PA was associated with reduced risk of stroke. It would be helpful if the authors could give some explanations for this discrepancy.…”
