Abstract:
Stroke is a major healthcare problem ranking as the second leading cause of death and the first
cause of disability in the world. The stroke incidence in the world varied from 100 to 336 per 100.000
people per year. In different world regions the incidence of stroke ranges between 134.9 to 336.3
new cases per 100.000 inhabitants and the annual frequency of deaths within 36.7 to 136.7 per
100.000 events, while the frequency of stroke and mortality in Mongolia is within the upper limits of
the above mentioned indicators. A recent report of the WHO MONICA Project documented that stroke
incidence ranged between 101-285 in males and 47-198 in females per 100,000 people aged 35 to
64 years in 16 countries involved in this study. In the United States the average annual incidence
rates of all strokes under the age of 55 years was 113.8 per 100,000, while that for cerebral infarction
was 73.1 per 100,000. More than 10% of patients with cerebral infarction were 55 years or younger.
Almost two thirds of the global burden of stroke is borne by those in developing countries. Recent
study in Mongolia showed that young adults account for 21%-26% of all stroke patients as opposed
to 10%-13% Western countries. In this review we sought to discuss the tissue-based definitions,
epidemiological trends, risk factors, and specific causes associated with stroke in the young.
