Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Stroke could soon be the most common cause of death worldwide.[1]
- Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the Western world, after heart disease and cancer, and causes 10% of deaths worldwide.[2]
- The incidence of stroke increases exponentially from 30 years of age, and etiology varies by age.[3]
Age
- 95% of strokes occur in people age 45 and older; two-thirds of strokes occur in those over the age of 65.[4]
- A person's risk of dying if he or she does have a stroke also increases with age.
- However, stroke can occur at any age, including in fetuses.
- Stroke is the second leading killer of people under 20 yrs age who suffer from sickle-cell anemia.
Gender
- Men are 1.25 times more likely to suffer cerebral vascular accidents than women.
- However, 60% of deaths from stroke occur in women: Since women usually live longer, they are usually older when they suffer from strokes and are more often killed).[4]
- Some risk factors for stroke apply only to women
- Primary among these are pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and the treatment thereof (HRT).
