Risk factors for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in Chinese vs. Caucasians: Systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionOur study showed a lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease and hypercholesterolemia in Chinese, and mostly similar risk factor associations in Chinese and Caucasian ischemic stroke patients. Further analyses of individual patient data to allow adjustment for confounders are needed to confirm and extend these findings.

Household Secondhand Smoke Exposure Confers Higher Stroke Risk and Poorer Stroke Prognosis (S42.005)
CONCLUSIONS: Household SHS is associated with a 1.5-fold increase in stroke risk and a 2-fold increase in mortality after stroke among never-smokers. While prospective studies are needed to assess causality, this study highlights the importance of obtaining SHS exposure history and counseling patients and their families on the potential impact of SHS on post-stroke outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Stroke in an Adult Population in a Rural Community in the Niger Delta, South-South Nigeria
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of stroke in a rural population in the Niger Delta region in south–south Nigeria and to describe known risk factors for stroke among them. A door-to-door stroke prevalence study was conducted in 2008 among randomly selected adults of 18 years or older in rural Kegbara-Dere community in Rivers State, south–south Nigeria. We administered a modified screening tool by the World Health Organization, a stroke-specific questionnaire, and conducted a physical/neurological examination (on persons screening positive) in 3 stages of assessments. The crude prevalence of stroke was 8.51...

Socioeconomic Position and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Denmark 2003-2012. A Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Stroke
Conclusions In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for stroke. Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes appears to increase the risk for stroke in people with lower socioeconomic position.

Increasing stroke incidence and prevalence of risk factors in a low-income Chinese population
Conclusions: The incidence of stroke in rural China increased rapidly, particularly among middle-aged adults, along with a concurrent increase in risk factor prevalence. These findings suggest that without controlling these risk factors, stroke incidence will continue to increase over future decades in China.

Risk of Metabolic Syndrome for Stroke Is Not Greater than the Sum of its Components: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) Study
This study aimed to assess the association of MetS with stroke, and to evaluate whether the risk of MetS is greater than the sum of its components. The Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) study is a community-based cohort study with 19,997 participants, aged 45-80 years, recruited from the general population from 5 regions of Thailand. Baseline survey data were analyzed in cross-sectional analyses. MetS was defined according to criteria from the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III, the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (revised NCEP), and International Diab...

Hypertension, alcohol drinking and stroke incidence: a population-based prospective cohort study among inner Mongolians in China
Conclusion:These findings suggest that hypertension is an independent risk factor of stroke in Inner Mongolians. Drinkers with hypertension seem to be more susceptible to stroke; larger-sample prospective cohort studies are still required to examine the cumulative effect of drinking and hypertension on stroke incidence.

Factors Predicting High Estimated 10-Year Stroke Risk: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke Study
Conclusions: Socioeconomic status, in particular, unemployed/house work and illiterate class, might be good proxy to identify the individuals at higher risk of stroke. The most powerful risk factors were older age, male sex, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, and current smoking.

Explanatory factors for the increased mortality of stroke patients with depression
Conclusion: Depression after stroke is associated with higher mortality, particularly among younger patients. Stroke survivors taking SSRIs have an increased mortality. The association between depression and mortality is not explained by other individual medical factors.

Long-term disability after lacunar stroke: Secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes
Conclusions: In lacunar stroke patients, older age was associated with worsening long-term disability, even without recurrence. Worse long-term function was associated with diabetes, cognitive status, and prior stroke, and regional differences may be attributable to variations in health care delivery or scale interpretation.
