Key result
The incidence of cerebrovascular disease in Iceland among individuals aged 0-35 years from 1958 to 1968 was 7.9 per 100,000, with no significant difference between sexes or geographic regions.
Observational
This total population survey provides historical epidemiological data on the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in young people (ages 0-35) in Iceland.
Historical Icelandic data offers a mid-century benchmark for young-onset cerebrovascular disease; leaves open whether incidence has changed since.
This study was undertaken to estimate the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in the age group 0-35 years in the population of Iceland during the 11 year period 1958 through 1968. The incidence for the whole country was 7.9/100,000-- males 7.5 and females 8.4. The incidence in Reykjavik, 8.3/100,000, was not significantly different from the rest of the country (7.2/100,000)nor was there any significant difference between the sexes. Comparison is made with similar studies.
