Prevalence of stroke survival in rural communities living in northern Peru.
<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Stroke is the leading cause of neurological impairment in the South American Andean region. However, the epidemiology of stroke in the region has been poorly characterized.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a staged three-phase population-based study...

However, the epidemiology of stroke in the region has been poorly characterized.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a staged three-phase population-based study applying a validated eight-question neurological survey in 80 rural villages in Tumbes, northern Peru, then confirmed presence or absence of stroke through a neurologist's examination to estimate the prevalence of stroke.<h4>Results</h4>Our survey covered 90% of the population (22,278/24,854 individuals, mean age 30±21.28, 48.45% females), and prevalence of stroke was 7.05/1,000 inhabitants. After direct standardization to WHO's world standard population, adjusted prevalence of stroke was 6.94/1,000 inhabitants. Participants aged ≥85 years had higher stroke prevalence (>50/1000 inhabitants) compared to other stratified ages, and some unusual cases of stroke were found among individuals aged 25-34 years. The lowest age reported for a first stroke event was 16.8 years. High blood pressure (aPR 4.2 [2.7-6.4], p>0.001), and sedentary lifestyle (aPR 1.6 [1.0-2.6], p = 0.045) were more prevalent in people with stroke.<h4>Conclusions</h4>The age-standardized prevalence of stroke in this rural coastal Peruvian population was slightly higher than previously reported in studies from surrounding rural South American settings, but lower than in rural African and Asian regions. The death rate from stroke was much higher than in industrialized and middle-income countries.Luz M MoyanoSilvia M MontanoPercy Vilchez BarretoNarcisa RetoLuis LarrauriNicanor MoriMario Cornejo-OlivasErik Guevara-SilvaFernando UrizarEnrique NajarRicardo GamboaCintya AzabacheRaquel Herrer TicseLucia Bolivar-HerradaAlex DoudPeggy MartinezJ Jaime MirandaJoseph R ZuntHector H GarcíaCysticercosis Working Group for PeruPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 7, p e0254440 (2021) |
