About The Study: Using a nationally representative sample of community-dwelling adults, this study found that the prevalence of self-reported stroke remained stable in the U.S. between 1999 and 2018 overall and by racial and ethnic group and age group and increased among men. Estimates in this study underestimate the total burden of stroke in the U.S. as National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys do not include individuals residing in rehabilitation, long-term care, or other institutional settings.
