Risk and population attributable fraction of stroke subtypes in Japan
CONCLUSION: Although there are differences according to the subtypes, hypertension could be regarded as the most crucial target for preventing strokes in Japan.PMID:37460296 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20220364

Associations between Ischemic Stroke Follow-Up, Socioeconomic Status, and Adherence to Secondary Preventive Drugs in Southern Sweden: Observations from the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke)
Conclusions: The use of secondary preventive drugs decreases over the first year after stroke and remains suboptimal. Specific reasons for nonadherence warrant further study.Neuroepidemiology 2017;48:32-38

Vital signs: avoidable deaths from heart disease, stroke, and hypertensive disease - United States, 2001-2010.
Conclusions: Nearly one fourth of all cardiovascular disease deaths are avoidable. These deaths disproportionately occurred among non-Hispanic blacks and residents of the South. Persons aged <65 years had lower rates than those aged 65-74 years but still accounted for a considerable share of avoidable deaths and demonstrated less improvement. Implications for Public Health Practice: National, state, and local initiatives aimed at improving health-care systems and supporting healthy behaviors are essential to reducing avoidable heart disease, stroke, and hypertensive disease deaths. Strategies include promoting the ABCS ...

Hypothetical interventions to prevent stroke: an application of the parametric g-formula to a healthy middle-aged population
AbstractThe effects of interventions on multiple lifestyle and metabolic risk factors, initiated in midlife or later in a healthy population, on the long-term risk of first-ever stroke is not known. A particular methodological challenge in observational studies is to estimate the unbiased effect of a time-varying exposure in presence of time-varying confounders, if those confounders are affected by prior exposure. In such cases, the parametric g-formula can be applied to estimate an unbiased effect. We applied the parametric g-formula to estimate the 18-years (1994 –2012) cumulative stroke risk under different scenarios ...

Statin use is associated with lower risk of dementia in stroke patients: a community-based cohort study with inverse probability weighted marginal structural model analysis
AbstractCurrent evidence is inconclusive on cognitive benefits or harms of statins among stroke patients, who have high risk of dementia. This observational cohort study investigated the association between statin use and post-stroke dementia using data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. Patients without prior dementia who had an incident stroke but received no statins in the preceding year were followed for up to 10  years. We used inverse probability weighted marginal structural models to estimate observational analogues of intention-to-treat (ITT, statin initiation vs. no initiation) and per-protocol (PP, su...

Mediators of the Effect of obesity on Stroke and Heart Disease Risk: Decomposing Direct and Indirect Effects
CONCLUSIONS: High BMI in young adults increases the risk of metabolic mediators in their middle age, and metabolic mediators explain the adverse effects of high BMI on stroke risk than IHD risk.PMID:35781427 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20210476
