In a direct (door-to-door) epidemiological study, the prevalence rate of cerebrovascular disease in the rural population of northwest Peloponnese, Greece, was found to be 995 strokes per 100,000 inhabitants over 20 years of age. This number is considerably lower than the prevalence rate (1,417 strokes per 100,000 inhabitants over 20 years of age) found in the urban population of the same county (Patras, Greece).
