The purpose of the research was studying 10 year (1999-2008) dynamics of incidence and prevalence of stroke in the north-eastern region and giving a prognosis regarding the status of the incidence and prevalence of stroke in the northeast region of Azerbaijan. In this part of Azerbaijan located Guba-Khachmaz economic region. Retrospectively studied all cases of stroke in the region. 10 year chronological average level of primary incidence and prevalence of stroke were 1.2±0.05‰ and 2.4±0.07‰. It is established that the primary incidence of stroke in 1999-2008 years in the region is characterized by a tendency of low growth of disease. Predicted an increase in incidence and prevalence of stroke in 2015 – 1.56‰ and 3.20‰. Obtained data’s are important for adequate therapeutic measures aimed for reducing the incidence and prevalence of stroke in the population.
