Stroke incidence in China is high, with a notable decline observed recently, primarily among males. Significant variations exist across different Chinese cities, suggesting potential links to lifestyle and health factors.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Stroke incidence varies globally, with China exhibiting high rates.
  • This study examines stroke incidence in seven Chinese cities from 1986-1990.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the incidence of stroke in control populations across seven Chinese cities.
  • To establish baseline stroke incidence rates for epidemiological comparison.

Main Methods:

  • First-ever strokes ascertained via household interviews and medical record verification.
  • A three-tier monitoring system ensured comprehensive case ascertainment in subsequent years.

Main Results:

  • Average annual age-adjusted stroke incidence was 215.6 per 100,000 population.

  • A significant decline in stroke incidence was observed, particularly in males.
  • Marked geographical variations in incidence rates were noted among the seven cities.
  • Conclusions:

    • Chinese stroke incidence rates are among the world's highest, comparable to Japan.
    • Recent declines in stroke incidence are evident, predominantly in males.
    • Inter-city variations suggest potential influences of diet, lifestyle, and hypertension prevalence.
