“…Developed countries have experienced a drop in the indicators of mortality due to stroke in recent decades, in contrast to low- and middle-income countries that have shown an increasing trend of morbidity and mortality from this disease [ 1 – 3 ]. Brazil, however, has experienced a downward trend in stroke mortality, albeit at a slower rate than that of developed countries [ 4 – 6 ].…”

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological stroke data of Brazil according to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study in 2016 and secondary data from the GBD database.ResultsThe highest percentage of deaths due to stroke in general occurred in individuals aged 70 years or over (60.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 59.9–60.5%) followed by that in men (52.9%; 95% CI 52.6–53.2%). Ischemic stroke was the most common type, accounting for 61.8% (95% CI 61.5–62.1%) of deaths due to stroke in 2016. Most of the epidemiological indicators (incidence, prevalence, mortality-to-incidence ratio, mortality, disability-adjusted life years, years lost due to disability, and years of life lost) of stroke in general or either type of stroke were higher in men and those aged 70 years or over. Stroke data in Brazil are a major concern and represent a real health challenge for the coming decades. Men and individuals aged 70 years or older appear to represent the groups with the highest epidemiological parameters and risk for the various stroke outcomes. However, this does not mean the female data are irrelevant, which, although representing a lower risk than the male data, also raise the need for policies aimed at prevention and improvement in the treatment of stroke and its sequelae.

“…Each year, strokes are suffered by approximately 15 million people worldwide. Of these persons, approximately 5 million die [ 1 ]; it is estimated that by 2030, stroke may represent the sixth leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years lost in the world [ 2 , 3 ]. Although the number of strokes is alarming, a gradual decrease in the occurrence of stroke has been observed in developed countries.…”

“…Although the number of strokes is alarming, a gradual decrease in the occurrence of stroke has been observed in developed countries. This gradual decrease is likely due to better systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) control and a decrease in the levels of smoking in these populations [ 1 ].…”

Correlation between municipal human development index and stroke mortality: a study of Brazilian capitals

et al. 2018

ObjectiveTo analyze the correlation between municipal human development indices (MHDIs) and stroke mortality in residents of Brazilian state capitals in 2010. A secondary data analysis was conducted in 2015 using data for the MHDI and the following dimensions: income, longevity and education which were obtained from the United Nations Development Program. Additionally, we analyzed age-standardized stroke mortality data from the Department of System Information Unified Health of Brazil.ResultsWe observed a correlation between stroke mortality and MHDIs overall (Pearson r = − 0.563; p = 0.002) and within the following dimensions: income (Spearman’s ρ = − 0.479; p = 0.011), longevity (Pearson r = − 0.510; p = 0.006) and education (Pearson r = − 0.592; p = 0.001). We identified moderate but significant negative correlations between MHDI overall and in its individual dimensions (income, longevity, and age) and stroke mortality in Brazilian capitals. Stroke is the second leading cause of death in industrialized countries and the leading cause of death in Brazil. Therefore, the discovery of factors that may influence the epidemiology of stroke is important for the construction of adequate policies considering to the socioeconomic status in these places and with an emphasis in lower socioeconomic status places.

Stroke remains the second leading cause of death and third leading cause of death and disability combined worldwide in 2019. Thus stroke is a disease of immense public health importance with serious economic and social consequences. Ischaemic stroke constituted 62•4 percent of all incident strokes, while intracerebral haemorrhage constituted 27•9 percent and subarachnoid haemorrhage constituted 9•7 percent. In 2019, the ÀYH OHDGLQJ ULVN IDFWRUV IRU VWURNH ZHUH KLJK V\VWROLF blood pressure (contributing 55•5% of total stroke DALYs), high body-mass index (24•3%), high fasting plasma glucose (20•2%), ambient particulate matter pollution (20•1%), and smoking (17•6%) (GBD, 2019). Data from the recent Inter-stroke study indicated that a list of 10 stroke risk factors including hypertension, high cholesterol, current smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, stress, obesity, heart disease, lack of physical activity, and poor diet were
