Abstract

Abstract Kuthar valley in the Anantnag district of south Kashmir (North-west India) was surveyed to ascertain the prevalence of completed strokes. In a population of 63,645, the survey was from July to November 1986; 91 cases of completed stroke were detected giving a crude prevalence of 143/100,000. Only 10 (10.9%) cases (7W : 3M) were in the age group 15–39 years, a prevalence rate of 41/100000.
