“…Stroke mortality has been decreasing in Taiwan, but the magnitude of decline over time is not as striking as in the US and Japan [1,2]. In a large-scale hospital-based registry in Taiwan, the 30-day case-fatality rate was 30.8% for cerebral hemorrhage and 8.4% for cerebral infarction in 1985, and it was 26.8% for cerebral hemorrhage and 10.1% for cerebral infarction in 1990 [34].…”

This study aims to assess the incidence, case-fatality rate and risk factors of stroke on Kinmen Island, Taiwan, from 1993 to 1996. A population-based stroke survey was carried out in 1993 and 1996 to collect data on all subjects in the population aged 50 years and older residing on Kinmen. There were 63 stroke events (53 first ever and 10 recurrent) identified in this period. The average annual incidence rate of first-ever stroke for people aged 50 years or older was 527 per 100,000 population (95% confidence interval, CI, 297–757). The 28-day case-fatality rate was 24.5% (95% CI 12.9–36.1%) for first-ever stroke and 60% (95% CI 29.6–90.4%) for recurrent stroke. Multivariate analyses performed with the Cox proportional hazard model revealed the following risk factors to be independent predictors of stroke: hypertension, diabetes and alcohol use. The incidence and case- fatality rate of stroke on Kinmen is similar to that of several other countries. Hypertension is the most common risk factor in this population. Due to a relatively small number of outcome events, these findings require confirmation.

“…Although stroke mortality rates have declined significantly in Taiwan [1,2], stroke is still the second leading cause of death and contributes to about 14,000 deaths per year. Stroke accounted for 10.8% of deaths in Taiwan for all ages in 1997 [3].…”

“…The downward trends of 1898 to 1923 birth cohort in men and the 1898 to 1928 birth cohort in women were probably the result of the reduced incidence and mortality of stroke as a consequence of the national community-based hypertension control/stroke prevention program in Japan initiated in the 1960s. 2,4,5,16,22,[44][45][46][47] At that time, people in those cohorts were aged 35 to 60 years. These birth cohorts were at the beneficial stage for improved prognosis for stroke by the change in risk factors.…”

“…During the period 1972-1979, stroke mortality declined 13.8% for men and 16.6% for women in Taiwan; these percent changes were approximately half those in the United States and Japan. 24 In other words, stroke mortality in Taiwan decreased by approximately 2% per year from 1972 to 1983 and approximately 4-5% per year after 1984. 25 Because the pattern of CVD is important for diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative, and preventive purposes, the present study reports the secular trend of mortality from cerebral infarction (CI) and cerebral hemorrhage (CH) in Taiwan between 1974 and 1988 by age, calendar year, and birth year by use of Poisson regression analysis.…”

Methods: Vital statistics and demographic data were collected for analyzing the truncated age-adjusted mortality rates. Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risk and 95% confidence interval.Results: The mortality rates for cerebral hemorrhage were greater than those for cerebral infarction. The mortality rates increased exponentially with age for both subtypes. The decline in age-specific mortality for the period 1974-1983 was much more striking for cerebral hemorrhage than for cerebral infarction. Mortality from cerebral infarction and hemorrhage increased with age for all birth cohorts except the cerebral hemorrhage mortality of the oldest cohort. Male/female ratios for both cerebral infarction and hemorrhage were greater in the younger age groups. The cerebral hemorrhage/infarction ratio during the period 1984-1988 was highest for the younger age groups and lowest for the oldest age groups.Conclusions: The different secular trends of mortality from cerebral infarction and hemorrhage imply that these two patterns of stroke may be associated with some different risk factors.
