We studied the Kuthar Valley in the Anantnag District of south Kashmir (northwestern India) during the year 1986 to ascertain the prevalence and pattern of completed stroke. We detected 91 cases, giving a crude prevalence rate of 143/100,000. However, age-specific prevalence was 41/100,000 in the group aged 15-39 years and 630/100,000 in the group aged greater than or equal to 40 years; 69.23% of the cases were in men. Hypertension was present in 58.24% of the cases, while strokes due to valvular heart disease and puerperium-related strokes were most common in the young. Our study is first of its kind in this part of India.
1986年,我们对印度西北部克什米尔南部阿南特纳格区的库萨尔山谷进行了研究,以确定完全性卒中的患病率和模式。我们检测到91例病例,粗患病率为143/100,000。然而,15 - 39岁年龄组的年龄特异性患病率为41/100,000,40岁及以上年龄组为630/100,000;69.23%的病例为男性。58.24%的病例存在高血压,而瓣膜性心脏病所致卒中及产褥期相关卒中在年轻人中最为常见。我们的研究在印度的这一地区尚属首次。
