中风,又称脑血管意外,主要发生于老年。随着老年人比例的逐年增长,中风的危害性也越发明显。统计资料显示,在日本,中风的死亡率居首位;在美国,中风占人口死亡原因的第三位。这些足以说明,中风严重威胁着人类健康。因此,防治中风,不仅是医学家们科学研究的重点,也是许多老年人及其亲属所关心的问题。为此,本刊组织了一些专家就中风的防治,展开讨论。 Stroke, also known as cerebrovascular accident, occurs mainly in the elderly. As the proportion of the elderly increases year by year, the danger of the stroke becomes more and more obvious. Statistics show that in Japan, stroke has the highest mortality rate; in the United States, stroke accounts for the third leading cause of death in the population. All this shows that stroke is a serious threat to human health. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of stroke is not only the focus of scientific research by medical scientists, but also the concern of many elderly people and their relatives. To this end, the magazine organized a number of experts on the prevention and treatment of stroke, to discuss.
