Prevalence

Hu et al.11 reported the stroke prevalence for 8,705 people aged 36 or older was 16.42/1,000 population (95% CI=13.89-19.42/1,000) in 1986. The other studies estimated stroke prevalence of 14.27 per 1,000 in the people aged 35 or older using data from the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)12 and 19.3 per 1,000 people from 2001 NHIS.13 In males, the stroke prevalence is 25.5 per 1,000 people, almost two-fold higher than the stroke prevalence in females (12.6 per 1,000 people).12 The level of urbanization, gender, heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes were important contributory factors to the stroke prevalence in Taiwan.12 The studies of stroke prevalence are summarized in Table 1.
