Research published in the journal Neurology in mid-May shows that although the number of stroke-related deaths worldwide has increased significantly over the past three decades, the number of strokes per 100,000 people has fallen. The increase in the number of deaths, from 2 million in 1990 to 3 million by 2019, can partly be linked to population growth, according to the researchers. The world's population increased from almost 5.3 billion in 1990 to over 7.7 billion in 2019. And while the team said the umber of strokes per 100,000 people dropped from 66 to 44 over the period, they warned that the number of deaths linked to ischemic stroke, which is caused by a blockage of blood flow to the brain and is the most common kind of stroke, could hit 6.4 million by 2030, with the usual suspects of high blood pressure and high body mass index to blame.
