Is There a Stroke Belt in China and Why? Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A stroke belt of high stroke incidence exists in 9 provincial regions of north and west China. The stroke belt may be caused, at least in part, by a higher population prevalence of hypertension and excess body weight. Lowering blood pressure and body weight in the stroke belt may reduce the geographic disparity in stroke risk and incidence in China.

Smoking, Heart Rate, and Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Prospective Cohort Study Among Inner Mongolians in China Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our study indicated that smoking was an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke, and smokers with faster heart rate had the highest risk of ischemic stroke among Inner Mongolians. These findings suggest that smoking status and heart rate may be valuable in predicting ischemic stroke incidence.
