Pakistan Kuzey Batı Sınır Bölgesinde İnme İnsidansı

Bu çalışmanın ana amacı inme insidansı ile ilişkili doğrudan ya da indirekt faktörlerini bulmaktır. Bunun için 300 inme hastasının verileri incelenmiştir. Ortalama yaş 57.3(±15.76 SD) yıldır. Erkeklerin ortalama yaşı 59.11 (± 17.64 SD) yıl, bayanların ise 55.66 (±13.65 SD) yıldır. Araştırma bayan ve erkeklerin yaş ortalaması arasında belirgin istatiksel farkı göstermiştir. Bu çalışma inme insidansı ve diabetes mellitus ve /veya hipertansiyon arasında ilişkiyi gösteren kanıtları sunmaktadır ve aynı zamanda inmenin yaşla yüksek ilişkisini ortaya çıkarmıştır.
