Lifetime risk of stroke in the general male population - Sweden

With that 50% risk, there should be a massive effort to solve stroke, 100% recovery. But I bet all that will occur is the fuckingly lazy general prevention guidelines. I'm sure you feel confident in that approach. Would you do something that has a 50% failure rate?

Lifetime risk of stroke in the general male population - Sweden

Researchers determined hazard rates, prevalence and cumulative proportion free from stroke during a lifelong follow‐up of a representative sample of middle‐aged men from the general population. The sample included 855 men, all born in 1913, aged 50 years who were followed up with repeated medical examinations at ages 54, 60, 67, 75 and 80. The researchers obtained data from hospital records and the Cause of Death Register, and all stroke events during 48 years of follow‐up were recorded.  According to findings, one of five men in this population sample had a stroke of any type during follow‐up from 50 to 98 years of age, and the cumulative incidence was approximately 50%.
