Science warns: Disease could kill nearly 10 million people by 2050

because grow and Ageing The absolute number of global deaths from this disease will increase by 50% compared to 2020: Will reach 9.7 million in 2050.

Likewise, research published in The Lancet Neurology predicts that age-standardized death rates will decrease.However, globally the proportion of deaths from this disease in low- and middle-income countries is expected to increase from 86% 2020 91% 2050.

The disease will kill nearly 10 million people by 2050

The global burden of stroke is enormous: in 2020, it was the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability after stroke, according to a study published in The Lancet Neurology. neonatal accident (children) and ischemic heart disease (aldult).Worryingly, there is evidence of an increased incidence of stroke in young people (under 55 years of age) Increase worldwide.

absolute number of people affected StrokeThe number of people killed or disabled has almost doubled in the past 30 years.Most of the stroke burden currently occurs in low- and middle-income countries. The burden of stroke is increasing faster in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.

Stroke is also one of the leading causes of stroke Depression and dementiawhich are other common non-communicable diseases.

Because the incidence of stroke increases with age, the combination of population growth and population aging may result in The number of deaths and disabilities worldwide will increase significantly in the future, unless significant progress is made in population-based prevention programs to reduce stroke risk. Therefore, pragmatic solutions are urgently needed to reduce the burden of stroke and related noncommunicable diseases to save lives and improve global brain health, quality of life, and socioeconomic productivity.

Key priorities for reducing the burden of stroke

• monitor: Integrating stroke and risk factor surveillance into the National Stroke Action Plan. Establish low-cost surveillance systems, preferably within existing noncommunicable disease systems, to appropriately guide prevention and treatment. and include regular national monitoring of risk factors in national censuses.
• prevention: People at any risk level for stroke and cardiovascular disease should implement prevention strategies focusing on lifestyle changes. Raise public awareness and take action to encourage healthy lifestyles and prevent strokes by deploying digital technologies across the population.
• acute care: Prioritize effective planning of acute stroke care services; capacity development, training and certification of a multidisciplinary workforce; provision of evidence-based equipment and affordable medicines; and adequate allocation of resources at national and regional levels.
• recovery: Establish multidisciplinary rehabilitation services and tailor evidence-based recommendations to local context, including training, support and supervision of community health workers and caregivers to assist in long-term care.
