The population burden of stroke mortality continues to plummet in developed countries. For example, in the United States, among the 30 leading causes of death the 37% decline in age-adjusted stroke deaths between 1990 and 2010 was only exceeded by a 68% decline from HIV/AIDS, a 44% decline from ischemic heart disease, and a 39% decline from lower respiratory tract infections.1 However, data from the US Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Study suggest that between 1993/1994 and 2005 stroke rates are falling only for those aged ≥55 years, and there has been a 55% (83/100 000→128/100 000) increase for blacks aged 20 to 54 years, and a 92% (26/100 00→48/100 000) increase for whites of the same age. Read More
