Prevalence, incidence, and mortality of stroke in the chinese island populations: a systematic review.

<h4>Background</h4>In China, there are 2.5 million new stroke cases each year and 7.5 million stroke survivors. However, stroke incidence in some island populations is obviously lower compared with inland regions, perhaps due to differences in diet and lifestyle. As the lifestyle in Chin...
