Implications of Female Sex on Stroke Risk Factors, Care, Outcome and Rehabilitation: An Asian Perspective
Background: Stroke affects 16.9 million people annually and the greatest burden of stroke is in low- and middle-income countries, where 69% of all strokes occur. Stroke risk factors, mortality and outcomes differ in developing countries as compared to the developed world. We performed a literature review of 28 articles pertaining to epidemiology of stroke in Asian women, stroke risk factors, gender-related differences, and stroke outcomes. Summary: Asian women differ from women worldwide due to differences in stroke awareness, risk factor profile, stroke subtypes, and social issues that impact stroke care. While Asian men ...

Eating chocolate may slightly lower your risk of stroke
ConclusionThis study used a large prospective cohort of English residents to estimate the risk chocolate poses to cardiovascular death and disease. In addition, they systematically combed the research literature for other similar studies, combining their results with that of other researchers. By comparing the highest chocolate consumers with chocolate abstainers, they found that chocolate was linked to a lower risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. The risk for coronary heart disease was not statistically significant. Results from the meta-analysis of eight additional studies showed higher chocolate consumption was li...

Disparity in Decreased Age and Increased Incidence of Stroke in a Low-Income Chinese Population (P1.108)
Conclusions:Two disparities, which including decreased mean age of stroke onset and increased incidence, and decreased mean age of stroke onset and increased life expectancy were found in a low-income Chinese population, especially in men. These findings imply that stroke burden will continue to increase in China if the risk factors remain unchecked. Disclosure: Dr. Wang has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yang has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence, Incidence and Mortality of Stroke in China: Results from a Nationwide Population-Based Survey of 480,687 Adults.
CONCLUSIONS: -Stroke burden in China has increased over the last 30 years, and remains particularly high in rural areas. There is a north-to-south gradient in stroke in China, with the greatest stroke burden observed in the northern and central regions.

Factors associated with long ‐term mortality for stroke unit patients in Latvia
ConclusionAlcohol abuse as a pre ‐stroke risk factor, poststroke urinary incontinence as a neurological symptom, and dependence in grooming as a factor of disability were associated with earlier mortality in the first seven years after stroke.

Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors for the Potential Treatment of Brain Disorders; A Mini-Review With Special Focus on Linagliptin and Stroke
Cerebral stroke is a leading cause of death and persistent disability of elderly in the world. Moreover, after the age of 55, the risk of stroke doubles with each passing decade. Of all strokes, approximately 85 percent are ischemic, caused by blockage of cerebral arteries and remaining hemorrhagic, caused by intracerebral or subarachnoid bleeding. Although stroke prevention by targeting several risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, hypertension, alcohol abuse and hyperlipidemia have decreased the stroke incidence, the total number of strokes is increasing due to the population aging. After an ischem...

Rate and Determinants of Recurrence at 1 Year and 5 Years After Stroke in a Low-Income Population in Rural China
Recurrent stroke is becoming an increasingly important public health issue owing to the increased risk of disability and death. However, population-based studies investigating the rate of recurrent stroke in China are rare. We explored the rate and determinants of recurrent stroke within 1 and 5 years after the initial stroke in a rural population in China. Data for stroke events were obtained from the Tianjin Brain Study, conducted between 1992 and 2016. The age-standardized rates of recurrent stroke within the first year and the first 5 years after the initial stroke were calculated for this period. Determinants of recur...

Influences of Daily Life Habits on Risk Factors of Stroke Based on Decision Tree and Correlation Matrix.
Conclusions: Establishment of a model for stroke risk assessment, analysis of factors influencing risk factors of stroke, analysis of relationships among those factors, and derivation of knowledge-based rules are helpful for prevention and treatment of stroke.

Association of alcohol consumption with prognosis of ischemic stroke by subtype in different follow-up periods: a hospital-based study in China.
CONCLUSIONS: Previous alcohol consumption decreased the risk of death at 3 months after stroke among patients with atherothrombotic stroke according to the TOAST classification. Furthermore, for patients with small artery disease (according to TOAST classification), alcohol consumption significantly decreased the risk of recurrence and dependency at 12 months after stroke. This study highlights an urgent need to quantify the association of alcohol consumption with outcomes after stroke in China to improve stroke prognosis.

Genetically predicted higher educational attainment decreases the risk of stroke: a multivariable Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSIONS: We found that genetically predicated higher EA decreased the risks of total stroke, ischemic stroke, and cardioembolic stroke, independent of smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, intelligence, and hypertension.PMID:35710362 | DOI:10.1186/s12872-022-02713-7

Elderly living near noisy roads have 'increased stroke risk'
ConclusionThis modelling study has examined the associations of exposure to traffic noise, independent of air pollution, on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as on cardiovascular hospital admissions in adult and elderly populations.It has shown a link between increased noise from traffic pollution and risk of hospital admission for stroke and death. Possible reasons for deaths were most likely to be linked to heart or blood vessel disease, which could be due to increased blood pressure, sleep problems and stress from the noise.The limitations of this study are that the exposure model used is likely to overest...

Self management programmes for quality of life in people with stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The current evidence indicates that self management programmes may benefit people with stroke who are living in the community. The benefits of such programmes lie in improved quality of life and self efficacy. These are all well-recognised goals for people after stroke. There is evidence for many modes of delivery and examples of tailoring content to the target group. Leaders were usually professionals but peers (stroke survivors and carers) were also reported - the commonality is being trained and expert in stroke and its consequences. It would be beneficial for further research to be focused on identifying k...

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 ...
