Temporal Trends of Sex Differences in Transient Ischemic Attack Incidence Within a Population

Objective: Previously we reported that ischemic stroke incidence is declining over time for men but not women. We sought to describe temporal trends of sex differences in incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the same large, biracial population. Methods: Among the population of 1.3 million in the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study (GCNKSS) region, TIAs among area residents ( ≥20 years old) were identified at all local hospitals. Out of hospital cases were ascertained using a sampling scheme.
