[Correspondence] The INTERSTROKE study on risk factors for stroke

In a large case-control study in 32 countries, O'Donnell and colleagues (Aug 20, p 761) 1 sought to quantify the importance of potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in different regions of the world. They found that ten potentially modifiable risk factors are collectively associated with about 90% of the population attributable risks of stroke in each major region of the world.
