Stroke incidence and mortality significantly decreased in Finland between 1983 and 1997. This decline was particularly notable for ischemic stroke events in both men and women.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Stroke represents a significant global health burden.
  • Understanding temporal trends in stroke incidence and mortality is crucial for public health planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze incidence and mortality trends of stroke events.
  • Focus on individuals aged 25 to 74 years in Finland.
  • Study period: 1983 to 1997.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the population-based FINSTROKE register.
  • Included 5650 new stroke cases from two Finnish geographical areas.
  • Data collected on 3065 men and 2585 women.

Main Results:

  • Overall stroke incidence declined annually by 2.0% in men and 1.7% in women.

  • Ischemic stroke incidence decreased more sharply: 2.9%/year in men and 3.1%/year in women.
  • Mortality from all stroke types decreased by 3.7%/year in men and 4.1%/year in women.

    • Conclusions:

    • Stroke incidence and mortality showed significant declines in the studied Finnish regions.
    • These positive trends occurred over a 15-year period (1983-1997).
