- Hispanics’ risk for stroke falls between that of whites and blacks [2]
Geographical distribution
There is increased incidence and mortality rates of stroke in developing countries as compared to developed countries due to low socio economic status and heath facilites. In USA, the highest death rates from stroke are in the southeastern United States.[2]
