Among men, the mortality rate fell from 4,707 deaths in 1997 to 3,320 in 2012. A similar decline was recorded among women\u2014dropping from 4,437 to 3,171 (<em>Scientific Reports<\/em>, February 27). Coordinated by physiotherapist La\u00e9rcio da Silva Paiva, a professor at the ABC School of Medicine, the survey was based on death records available from the Brazilian Ministry of Health&#8217;s national health information system. According to the paper, the falling mortality rate follows a trend observed in other countries and is a result of improved treatment of hypertension at all socioeconomic levels and increased awareness of risk factors, such as diets that include a lot of red meat. Strokes accounted for 3.3% of total deaths among men aged 18 to 49 in 1997. In 2012, the figure stood at 2.1%. Among women, the rate fell from 8.3% to 5.2%. About half of the stroke deaths in the 15-year period occurred in Southeast Brazil, where 42% of the population lives.<\/p>\n<picture data-tablet=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/012-017_Notas_280-en-tablet.png\" data-tablet_size=\"1900x1250\" alt=\"\">\n    <source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/012-017_Notas_280-en-desktop.png\" media=\"(min-width: 1920px)\" \/>\n    <source srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/012-017_Notas_280-en-tablet.png\" media=\"(min-width: 1140px)\" \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-img\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/012-017_Notas_280-en-mobile.png\" \/>\n  <\/picture>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The survey was based on death records available from the Brazilian Ministry of Health&#8217;s national health information system","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[247],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-313085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-medicine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313085"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":313098,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313085\/revisions\/313098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313085"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=313085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
