Subtypes of Hypertension and Risk of Stroke in Rural Chinese Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: SDH patients warrant the most attention for prevent of stroke. However, ISH and IDH are also independent predictors of stroke. The risk factors for stroke, especially hypertension, were not controlled in the rural population we studied. More aggressive efforts to control the risk factors for stroke in rural areas are needed.
