Compared to Alzheimers; the total proportion of people who will develop Alzheimer’s before they
die. I am going to use a lifetime risk of 9% for men and 17% for women, from genomes unzipped. So what is WSO doing about it?

CHANDIGARH: "One in six
persons will have a stroke. However if detected early and treated with
modern methods many patients can make complete recovery and lead normal
lives.(Where did they get this information?) Many patients have warning signs or a mini stroke which should
not be ignored," said Dr Vipul Gupta, a neurovascular surgeon, while
quoting WHO projections. The WHO will be observing World Stroke Day on October 29.
While stressing the need to recognize a mini stroke to prevent a major
one, Dr Gupta said, "Brain stroke is the third leading cause of death in
our country, and the second most common cause of long-term disability
than any other disease."
From 2000 to 2008, the overall
incidence of brain stroke in low to middle income countries exceeded
that of high-income countries by 20%, according to WHO. Today,
two-thirds of all individuals that have suffered from a stroke live in
developing countries where health systems are already stretched to the
limit. According to WHO estimates, the number of deaths from stroke in
India will increase from 5,98,000 in 2000 to 9,45,000 in year 2020.
