Prevalence of stroke, risk factors, disability and care needs in older adults in Singapore: results from the WiSE study

Abstract

Several findings of this study were consistent with previous reports. Given that Singapore's population is ageing rapidly, our findings may indicate the need to review existing support services for stroke survivors and their caregivers. Future research could investigate the association between various sociodemographic and health conditions and stroke prevalence to confirm some of the findings of this study.
