Description
Jussara Almeida de Oliveira Baggio and co-authors profile stroke in Brazil from a national survey in this 2025 paper. Stroke ranks among the top killers and disablers in the country. A 2019 health survey lets planners see who carries that burden.
Nearly two thousand respondents reported a stroke diagnosis, about two percent of adults. That scales to more than four million Brazilians living post-stroke. Women and urban residents formed the majority of cases. Average age at diagnosis sat in the early fifties. About a third lived with functional dependence afterward. Maps and models flagged regional peaks and factors tied to dependence, guiding where rehab support should go first.
