| Annotation | Geographical variation in stroke mortality for Greater London was compared with the surrounding South East Region for those aged 45 and over. There was a clear association between deprivation and raised mortality from stroke in younger people, but the magnitude of this association diminished with age. Higher levels of deprivation, in conjunction with ethnicity, largely accounted for higher stroke mortality rates for middle aged people in Greater London compared with the surrounding South East Region. These factors do not explain the relatively lower stroke mortality among older Londoners. Factors associated with socioeconomic deprivation and ethnicity - including smoking, diet, and access to effective health care - need to tackled to reduce stroke mortality in London. (RH). |
