A recent deceleration in the long established downwards trend in mortality from stroke combined with rapid ageing of the Australian population suggests that we may be facing a large and rapid increase in the caseload of stroke unless efficacious ways to prevent cerebrovascular disease are applied more systematically. This paper reviews the current situation, drawing on evidence from the Perth Community Stroke Study (PCSS).
近期，中风死亡率长期以来的下降趋势出现减速，再加上澳大利亚人口的快速老龄化，这表明除非更系统地应用预防脑血管疾病的有效方法，否则我们可能面临中风病例数的大幅快速增长。本文借鉴珀斯社区中风研究（PCSS）的证据，对当前形势进行了综述。
