Description
Mundih Njohjam, Mark Olivier Ngoule, and Falonne Niakam compare stroke in men and women in Senegal in this 2026 conference abstract. Sex gaps in stroke are well described in rich countries but poorly mapped in sub-Saharan Africa. The team is gathering cases from the country's two leading stroke hospitals, covering both bleeding and blocked-vessel strokes.
Early results show women making up about fifty-three percent of patients, at ages much like men's. Women were more often out of work, poorer, less schooled, and single, each gap measured with statistical tests. High blood pressure and diabetes were somewhat more common in women, smoking more common in men, and metabolic syndrome clearly more common in women. Stroke type and measured severity did not differ clearly by sex. The authors present the work as a first map for fairer stroke care.
