Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]the decrease in burden of illness due to stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases in high-income countries might have resulted from better control of high blood pressure, cessation of tobacco use, and earlier interventions in the setting of acute stroke. [...]in both low-income and high-income countries, the overall burden of neurological disease is inevitably going to continue to increase as populations increase and grow older. Public health professionals and health-care policy makers must now implement much-needed public health interventions to address the growing need for neurological care across all ages and socioeconomic classes.
