What is the frequency and severity of cerebral atherosclerosis in different European populations compared to a US (Minnesota) population?
The study demonstrates geographic variation in the frequency and severity of cerebral atherosclerosis, with Finnish and German populations showing the highest involvement compared to other European cohorts and a US cohort.
Baker et al. (1973) conducted an observational in Cerebral Atherosclerosis. Geographic location (European countries) vs. Minnesota population was evaluated on Frequency and average amount of cerebral atherosclerosis. Cerebral atherosclerosis frequency and severity were highest in German and Finnish populations and lowest in the Polish population compared to a Minnesota cohort.
