Approximately every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke and roughly every four minutes someone dies of a stroke. It causes about one in 20 deaths annually â making it the fifth-leading cause of death â and a leading cause of long-term disability. Alabama has the second-highest stroke mortality rate in the U.S., behind the State of Mississippi, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Â
This high incidence of stroke earned Alabama a firm spot in âthe stroke beltâ; a name given to an 11-state region in the southeastern U.S. that has been recognized by public health authorities for having an unusually high incidence of stroke and other forms of cardiovascular disease.
