Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Bangladesh. The World Health Organization ranks Bangladesh's mortality rate due to stroke as number 84 in the world. The reported prevalence of stroke in Bangladesh is 0.3%, although no data on stroke incidence have been recorded. Hospital-based studies conducted in past decades have indicated that hypertension is the main cause of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke in Bangladesh. The high number of disability-adjusted life-years lost due to stroke (485 per 10,000 people) show that stroke severely impacts Bangladesh's economy. Although two non-governmental organizations, BRAC and the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed, are actively involved in primary stroke prevention strategies, the Bangladeshi government needs to emphasize healthcare development to cope with the increasing population density and to reduce stroke occurrence.
在孟加拉国，中风是导致死亡的第三大原因。世界卫生组织（WHO）将孟加拉国因中风导致的死亡率列为全球第 84 位。据报道，孟加拉国的中风患病率为 0.3%，尽管没有记录到中风发病率的数据。过去几十年进行的基于医院的研究表明，高血压是孟加拉国缺血性和出血性中风的主要原因。由于中风而丧失的残疾调整生命年（每 10000 人中有 485 人）数量较高，表明中风严重影响了孟加拉国的经济。尽管两个非政府组织——BRAC 和瘫痪康复中心——积极参与初级中风预防策略，但孟加拉国政府需要强调医疗保健的发展，以应对人口密度的增加，并减少中风的发生。
