In Spain in recent years two studies have been carried out into the prevalence of stroke. In the study made in Girona of the rural population over 64 years of age, the prevalence for stroke was 4,012 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The figure was higher for women- 5,072 -than for men 2,675 cases. Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIA) had a prevalence rate of 679 cases per 100,000 population of those aged over sixty-nine, being higher for men (1,161 cases) than for women (371 cases). The results from Girona differ from the findings in other Spanish regions in that the former are lower but at the same time are similar to those obtained in other western countries. The greatest risk factors for those over 69 years old were arterial hypertension, earlier episodes of TIA, diabetes, auricular fibrillation, congestive cardiac insufficiency, chronic bronchitis, myocardial infarction peripheral vascular-diseases, arteriosclerosis, heart disease with embolization and alcohol abuse.
近年来在西班牙开展了两项关于中风患病率的研究。在对赫罗纳64岁以上农村人口进行的研究中，中风患病率为每10万居民中有4012例。女性的这一数字更高，为5072例，而男性为2675例。短暂性脑缺血发作（TIA）在69岁以上人群中的患病率为每10万人口中有679例，男性（1161例）高于女性（371例）。赫罗纳的研究结果与西班牙其他地区的不同，前者较低，但同时与其他西方国家的结果相似。69岁以上人群最大的风险因素是动脉高血压、既往TIA发作史、糖尿病、心房颤动、充血性心力衰竭、慢性支气管炎、心肌梗死、外周血管疾病、动脉硬化、伴有栓塞的心脏病和酗酒。
