Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke)

County: Wabash
Measurement Period: 2018-2020
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to cerebrovascular disease and stroke.

Why is this important?

Cerebrovascular disease refers to conditions, including stroke, caused by problems with the blood vessels supplying the brain with blood. A stroke occurs when blood vessels carrying oxygen to the brain burst or become blocked, thereby cutting off the brain's supply of oxygen and other nutrients. Lack of oxygen causes brain cells to die, which can lead to brain damage and disability or death. Cerebrovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, and although it is more common in older adults, it can occur at any age. The most important modifiable risk factor for cerebrovascular disease and stroke is high blood pressure. Other risk factors include high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, physical inactivity, obesity, excessive alcohol use, and tobacco use.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce stroke deaths to 33.4 deaths per 100,000 population.
