- Abstract
The most up-to-date stroke statistics for Turkey are presented using the Global Burden of Disease e-research system. In 2019, the incidence of stroke for Turkey was estimated as 125,345 (154 per hundred thousand), the prevalence was 1,080,380 (1.3%), the death rate due to stroke was 48,947 and the number of life years lost due to stroke-related death/disability was estimated to be 993,082 years. Of strokes 17.4% occurred under the age of fifty, 58.5% under the age of seventy, and 54.3% in women. 65.1% of strokes are acute ischemic stroke, 24% intracerebral and 10.9% subarachnoid hemorrhage. Although there is a numerical increase in all stroke types with the aging of our country's population, it has been observed that the increase in the frequency of hemorrhagic strokes are limited over time when frequency standardization is made according to age.
