The incidence of stroke has continued to decline in the population of Rochester, Minnesota, up to the end of the last decade. The rate of occurrence of new episodes of stroke in the period 1975-1979 was only 46% of the equivalent rate during the period 1945-1949. The magnitude of the decline in incidence rates was similar in both sexes, but the timing differed. Females showed a progressive decline beginning early in the period of observation, but most of the decline in males occurred in the last 10 years of the study.
直至上世纪最后十年末，明尼苏达州罗切斯特市人群中的中风发病率持续下降。1975 - 1979年期间中风新发病例的发生率仅为1945 - 1949年同期发病率的46%。发病率下降的幅度在两性中相似，但时间有所不同。女性在观察期早期就开始逐渐下降，而男性的下降大多发生在研究的最后十年。
