Science and Technology Daily News (Reporter Zhang Qiang, Correspondent Chen Xiaqiong Xiao Xin) On May 5, the reporter of Science and Technology Daily learned that the team of Professor Xiong Lize of the Institute of Brain and Brain-like Intelligence Transformation of Shanghai Fourth People's Hospital affiliated to Tongji University and Shanghai Key Laboratory of Anesthesia and Brain Function Regulation conducted a comprehensive and systematic retrospective summary and prospective prediction for the global mortality burden of ischemic stroke disease and its attributable risk factors. The relevant research results were recently published online in the famous international journal "Neurology".
It is reported that ischemic stroke is one of the important diseases leading to death and disability.
Xiong Lize introduced that the research work systematically analyzed the burden and epidemiological characteristics of ischemic stroke in 1990 countries and regions around the world in the 2019 years from 30 to 204. The study found that the increasing trend of ischemic stroke among young people was more pronounced in underdeveloped areas with lower sociodemographic index (SDI) levels, and the burden of death from ischemic stroke in men has been higher than that in women, and the downward trend is more pronounced in women, and this difference is likely to continue to increase in the future. The study also found that seven risk factors, including smoking, a high-sodium diet, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, renal dysfunction, hyperglycemia and high body mass index, were associated with an increasing trend in the number of deaths from ischaemic stroke, and that ischemic stroke caused by inadequate control of seven risk factors mainly occurred in elderly patients older than 7 years and in areas with low SDI levels. It is worth noting that the number of ischemic strokes in young people with a high body mass index is increasing.
The study further predicts that the number of global deaths from ischaemic stroke caused by these seven risk factors will increase from 2020.2030 million in 7 to 2019.329 million in 2030 between 490 and 7. Moreover, the study also predicted the global number of deaths from disease due to these seven risk factors.
"The increase in the number of deaths from ischaemic stroke and the projected future is worrying." Xiong said the research has implications for the allocation of nursing resources, health care plans, and the development and implementation of primary stroke prevention interventions that need to be supported by data. In addition, reducing interregional poverty and ethnic and socio-economic inequalities is important to reduce cardiovascular diseases and other noncommunicable diseases.
