Adults Who Have Had A Stroke

This indicator measures the percentage of adult respondents (19+) who reported ever being told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that they had a stroke.
Why is this important?
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of adult disability. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In either case, parts of the brain become damaged or die. There are two types of stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain. Fatty deposits called plaque can also cause blockages by building up in the blood vessels. The second type, hemorrhagic stroke, occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain. Blood accumulates and compresses the surrounding brain tissue.
