I'm sure this is complete and total useless crapola focusing on lazy prevention press releases. The WSO isn't responsible enough to have stroke in their name, not sure what they are but they are not for survivors, zero survivor outreach.
Damn it all: stroke is easy; 5 steps.
1. Describe the problems exactly.
2. Write thousands of RFPs to researchers/MIT grads to solve those problems.
3. Fund them with foundation grants.
4. Write stroke rehab protocols based on the research.
5. Get the Nobel prize in medicine
Do enough iterations of that and you will solve stroke.
Global prevention of stroke and dementia: the WSO Declaration.

The global burden of stroke and dementia are increasing. If current trends continue,
by 2050 we can expect about 200 million stroke survivors and 106 million people with
dementia, and each year thereafter, over 30 million new strokes, 12 million deaths
from stroke, and almost 5 million deaths from dementia. This looming future will threaten
the sustainability of health systems worldwide. Yet it is preventable, as a substantial
proportion of the burden is attributable to
risk factors that can be modified. However, current strategies of primary prevention for stroke and cardiovascular
disease to modify causal risk factors have not proved sufficiently effective in containing
the rapidly increasing burden of stroke. There is an urgent need to address the limitations
of current strategies, and to entertain new, more effective, affordable, and widely
applicable strategies to complement current approaches in the fight against stroke
and dementia. Given the commonality of risk factors and the reciprocal relationship
of stroke and dementia, a
joint prevention strategy is recommended.
