The Scottish Registrar General's Annual Reports have been used to study trends in mortality from stroke in Scotland during 1950-1986 in those aged 45 to 74. In 1950 the age-adjusted mortality rate was 347.4 per 100,000 population for men and 360.8 for women, falling to 199.6 for men and 155.8 for women in 1986. This downward trend has increased from 1976 for males. The average annual decline in age-adjusted mortality from stroke over the 37-year period was 4.0 per 100,000 in males and 5.5 in females. This reduction in death rates was proportionally higher for women compared with men in all age groups over 55 years. As with cardiovascular deaths, mortality from stroke was lower in the east than in the central region and west of Scotland. The reduction in mortality resulted in a substantial 'saving' of lives, estimated at 12,500 between 1980 and 1984.
苏格兰总登记官的年度报告被用于研究1950年至1986年期间，苏格兰45至74岁人群中风死亡率的趋势。1950年，男性年龄调整死亡率为每10万人口347.4人，女性为360.8人，到1986年，男性降至199.6人，女性降至155.8人。男性自1976年起这种下降趋势有所加剧。在这37年期间，男性年龄调整中风死亡率平均每年下降每10万人口4.0人，女性为5.5人。在55岁以上的所有年龄组中，女性死亡率的下降幅度相对男性更大。与心血管疾病死亡情况一样，苏格兰东部的中风死亡率低于中部地区和西部地区。死亡率的下降带来了可观的“生命挽救”，据估计在1980年至1984年期间挽救了12,500条生命。
