Systematic review evaluates the effect of social factors on stroke mortality worldwide, suggesting vital implications.
Despite advances in stroke care, mortality remains disproportionately high in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Structural social determinants of health (SDH)—including education, employment conditions, housing, residential environment, and food security—are increasingly recognized as critical, yet underexplored, contributors to stroke outcomes. This systematic review evaluates the effect of structural-level SDH on stroke-specific mortality worldwide.
