Abstract:
We have been trying to find out the way to prevent and cure the cerebrovascular diseases in ethnic minorities. By surveying the cerebrovascular diseases and finding out the risk factors causing the stroke, strengthening knowledge popularization and education among the people and curing the hypertension patients, we check whether the incidence and mortality of the cerebovascuar diseases show a tendency of decrease. The study is carried out by means of ran- dora samping. Our study is based on the 6-year monitoring of the 11 359 individuas living in Zhoucheng Town and Renliyi Village of Dali City. In our study the cerebrovascular diseases are calculated by the complete stroke. The 6-year data from 1984 to 1989 indicate that the in- cidence rate of the complete stroke decreased by an annual 4.8% and the mortality rate of the complete stroke decreased by 4% each year, which suggests that the study can provide impor- tant information for preventing and curing the cerebrovascular diseases.
