Assessment of Stroke Risk Factors in Southern Arizona (P02.054)
CONCLUSIONS: Despite a higher incidence of stroke, Hispanic concern regarding stroke risk factors is much lower than non-Hispanics. This suggests that knowledge linking risk factors for stroke and incident stroke may be lacking in Hispanic communities. Lessened concern regarding stroke risk factors may contribute to an increase incidence in stroke and to a worse outcome in this population. Hispanics increased interest in health promotion programs may afford one approach to addressing this problem. This data suggest that despite historically worse stroke outcomes, preventative efforts may be beneficial in raising stroke ris...

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (I12-5D)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence and risk factors of stroke in the elderly in Northern China: data from the National Stroke Screening Survey
AbstractBackgroundThe overall global burden of stroke is considerable and increasing. In China, stroke is the leading cause of death and disability.MethodsFor this study, we used data from the National Stroke Screening Survey in 2012 and the 2010 Chinese population from sixth National Census of Populations to calculate a standardized (by age, gender, and education) stroke prevalence. Prevalence, risk factors, and management of stroke were compared by gender, age, and site.FindingsThe standardized prevalence rate of survival stroke patients in study population aged 60 and older was 4.94% in total. Hypertension was the most ...

Urban-rural differences in risk factors for ischemic stroke in northern China
This study aims to investigate urban-rural differences in characteristics and risk factors of ischemic stroke in northern China. The present cross-sectional study was based on the High-risk Population Screening and Intervention Project for Stroke. The cluster sampling method was used to select urban and rural screening sites in northern China. By collecting information and screening the data, patients with ischemic stroke were obtained and a control group with similar gender, age, and regional distribution was selected among the nonischemic stroke patients. Then, the demographic and risk factors of patients with ischemic ...

Stroke incidence and outcome disparity in Rural regions of Southern West Virginia
Conclusions: Stroke incidence and mortality were found to be higher than expected in many areas of rural West Virginia. The higher stroke risk populations correlate with area that may be impacted by socioeconomic factors and limited access to primary care. These high-risk areas may therefore benefit from investments in infrastructure, patient education, and unrestricted primary care.

Sex differences in long-term outcomes among acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes in China
Conclusions These findings suggest that it is crucial to establish the individual scheme of therapy for every patient by different risk factors of stroke, strengthen the rehabilitation of stroke, and carry on the health education early for the secondary prevention of stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Effects of a Stroke Primary Prevention Program on Risk Factors for At-Home Elderly.
CONCLUSIONS Based on the results of this study, participating in a stroke prevention program enabled at-risk elderly participants who lived at home in rural areas to perform health-promoting behaviors. This program may reduce the incidence of stroke by reducing risk factors and managing stroke precursor diseases. PMID: 26615035 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke management in a Swiss community hospital - in close collaboration with a stroke centre
CONCLUSION: Our findings support further education of the population in recognition of stroke symptoms and assessment of cardiovascular risk factors according to guidelines. Telemedical cooperation with a local stroke centre can result in adequate quality of care in these patients.PMID:34098584 | DOI:10.4414/smw.2021.20490

Genetic loci, rs17817449 and rs6567160, known for obesity and the risk of stroke events among middle-aged and older Chinese people
ConclusionThe G allele of rs17817449 at the FTO, not rs6567160 at the MC4R, was associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence; its functional role in stroke should be explored in relatively healthy middle-aged to older Chinese people.

Cluster Enrollment: A Screening Tool for Stroke Risk Factors in Minority Women Caregivers.
CONCLUSIONS: Using cluster enrollment, we discovered minority female caregivers were more likely to have unknown or poorly controlled vascular risk factors compared to stroke patients. Innovative health screening tools may benefit the extended family of minority patients participating in clinical trials. PMID: 30442422 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Decade of Racial and Ethnic Stroke Disparity: An Insight from Nhanes (P03.151)
CONCLUSIONS: The greater prevalence of stroke in AA compared to NHW is better explained by variables that reflect the diagnosis and control of important vascular risk factors. These results identify targets for interventions to reduce this disparity.Disclosure: Dr. Gutierrez has nothing to disclose.

Age-Related Disparities in Stroke Knowledge Among Community Older Adults
Conclusion: The older adults and the oldest old had significantly high disparities in stroke knowledge. Given the aging population across China, the life expectancy is expected to be longer in future decades. These differences should be addressed in stroke educational campaigns targeting the oldest old.

Education Status and Ischemic Stroke in Young: A Potential Target towards Future Population Based Preventive Strategies. (P5.117)
Conclusion: Risk factors associated with IS in young patients are different among those with NCE as compared with those having CE. Larger studies need to be performed to expand on our knowledge of risk factors in NCE and CE young IS individuals which can help target population based preventive measures to decrease the rising incidence and burden of stroke in the young.Disclosure: Dr. Vaishnav has nothing to disclose.
