Stroke, Vol 21, 989-992, Copyright © 1990 by American Heart Association

We compared the pattern of cerebrovascular disease (stroke) mortality in
men and women aged 40-69 years in 27 countries during 1970-1985 with the
decline in coronary heart disease mortality during the same period. Stroke
mortality rates declined in 21 and 25 countries for men and women,
respectively. In 23 countries the decline in stroke mortality in women was
greater than that in men. Countries with the highest rates of stroke
mortality are also those with the least favorable secular trend. The rate
of decline for stroke mortality is greater than that for coronary heart
disease mortality in those countries that experienced a decline in both
categories. International comparisons of risk factor levels over time are
required to explain the striking differences between countries.
