Pathological patterns of stroke are different in various races, with the predominant stroke type in the Chinese being intracerebral hemorrhage. A total of 31,078 deaths from cerebral infarction and 77,773 deaths from cerebral hemorrhage in Taiwan were reported for groups of subjects aged 40-79 years during the period 1974-1988 to elucidate their secular trends.
