This study was undertaken to estimate the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in the age group 0-35 years in the population of Iceland during the 11 year period 1958 through 1968. The incidence for the whole country was 7.9/100,000-- males 7.5 and females 8.4. The incidence in Reykjavik, 8.3/100,000, was not significantly different from the rest of the country (7.2/100,000)nor was there any significant difference between the sexes. Comparison is made with similar studies.
