Global, regional, and national burden of ischemic stroke in older adults (≥60 years) from 1990 to 2021 and projections to 2030
The global burden of ischemic stroke has significantly decreased, particularly in high-SDI regions with abundant healthcare resources. However, low-SDI regions face more substantial public health challenges. It is recommended to enhance the control of high-risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, and high BMI, and to optimize healthcare services in low-income regions to further reduce the burden of ischemic stroke and improve the quality of life for older adults.
