Age-Group and Gender Differences in Stroke Knowledge in an Israeli Jewish Adult Population.

CONCLUSION: Participants younger than 45 years showed the lowest levels of stroke knowledge. The highest stroke knowledge was found in the 45 to 64 years age group. Stroke knowledge among different age groups was similar in both genders. Educational campaigns aimed at increasing knowledge of stroke among the general population and targeting the younger population are recommended. PMID: 28520658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
