| Annotation | Stroke is the leading neurological cause of death and disability, and predominantly affects older people. The impact of poverty on the incidence of and mortality from stroke has come to be well recognised. This literature review on the relationships between stroke and poverty examines: geographical indicators of poverty; the role of early exposure to poverty; the interaction between race and poverty; and the impact of poverty on stroke management and outcome. Specialists in the field should be aware of and develop strategies to tackle inequalities in their work. (RH). |
