Excellent- More about Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries: Epidemiology and Prevention
The mortality rate from stroke is higher in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries (HIC) due to resource-limited health systems and gaps in universal health coverage. Investments in preventive strategies and evidence-based interventions are needed to reduce the stroke burden in LMIC. Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries: Epidemiology and Prevention is a comprehensive resource that explores stroke epidemiology, prevention, and regional differences.

The mortality rate from stroke is significantly higher in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries (HIC) due to a multitude of factors, including resource-limited health systems and gaps in universal health coverage. In many LMIC, expensive therapeutics for acute stroke treatment are either unavailable or unaffordable, further exacerbating the burden of stroke. To address the stroke burden in LMIC, investments must prioritize preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of stroke. Over the past decade, a substantial body of epidemiological data has accumulated on risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, in LMIC. Additionally, a growing evidence base supports a range of interventions for the primary and primordial prevention of stroke in these regions. Stroke in Low and Middle Income Countries: Epidemiology and Prevention is a comprehensive resource that delves into stroke epidemiology and prevention, with a particular focus on regional disparities and solutions. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the global and regional epidemiology of stroke, as well as the primary targets for risk reduction at the individual level. Evidence-based recommendations for the primary prevention of stroke are discussed, including risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Public health strategies to promote the primordial prevention of stroke, such as health communications and the promotion of physical activity and wellness, are also covered.
