 Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability. Effective population based strategies for health promotion and disease prevention are seen as critical to countering widespread and growing epidemics of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. We perform cross sectional study to measur­e the prevalence of stroke risk factors in the community. Our study subjects are 84 adults that have not been suffered from stroke yet. Our study showed that majority of the subjects is in the medium risk of stroke. This pilot project seems promising for stroke prevention.

Key words: stroke, risk assessment, prevention
