[Ischemic cerebrovascular accident and climatologic factors]

The authors have studied the influence of certain meteorological factors (air temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity) on the onset of acute cerebrovascular disorders. The investigations related to 232 persons of both sexes affected by stroke. The case material was subjected to detailed statistical analysis. On the basis of their investigations the authors conclude that there is some parallelism between the particular meteorological factors examined and development of strokes.
