Analysis of ischemic stroke burden in Asia from 1990 to 2019: based on the global burden of disease 2019 data

Abstract

Based on our study, it is evident that the burden of ischemic stroke exists substantially and exhibits variations in the aspects of age, gender, and geographical region in Asia. Without targeted implementation of population-wide primary strategies for prevention and control, the burden of ischemic stroke is likely to worsen significantly in the future.
