What are the population attributable risks of hypertension and diabetes for cardiovascular disease and stroke?
What are the population attributable risks of hypertension and diabetes for cardiovascular disease and stroke?
Hypertension and diabetes significantly contribute to the burden of stroke, especially in Hispanics and individuals under 80, highlighting the need for targeted public health campaigns.
May inform targeted prevention in younger Hispanics; extends burden estimates but remains hypothesis-generating.
HTN and diabetes have important effects on the burden of stroke, particularly among those younger than age 80 and Hispanics. Public health campaigns targeted at specific risk factors in specific populations can lead to a greater reduction in CVD.
