The rate of adults having strokes hasn’t changed much in recent years, and there are still disparities in stroke rates across the U.S., according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In 2010, 2.6 percent of adults in the U.S. said they had suffered a stroke, down slightly from 2.7 percent in 2006, the report said. Strokes are the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S., and they are also a leading cause of long-term severe disability.
