Abstract:
We analyzed the data on stroke surveillance from 1985 to 1989 in Beijing. The results showed the annual average incidence rate was 189/100,000 and the first incidence rate was 134/100,000 in the population aged 25-74. The age standardized rates for both of them were 223/100,000 and 158/100,000 respectively. The incidence rate for male was 1.5 times as high as that for female. The incidence rate in rural area was 1.3 times as high as that in urban area. The incidence rates increased with age. The seasonal distribution of stroke incidence showed that it was the highest in winter and the lowest in summer. The trend of incidence from 1985 to 1989 was relatively steady. It is urgent to conduct the prevention of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) in Beijing.
