Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally and stroke is the second cause of death. To prevent the stroke, controlling risk factors is the best way. Disability is a death cause also. So, knowledge regarding the risk factors is very important for treating and preventing hemorrhagic stroke. Aim of the study: The aim of this current study was to evaluate the risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke. Materials and Methods: This study was a case-control study carried out at Dept. of Medicine, Sheikh Hasina Medical College Hospital, Tangail, Bangladesh from January to June 2021. A total number of 66 subjects of more than 18 years were considered for the study as the study subjects. Among them, 33 were in the study (Case) group and 33 were in the control group. The study population had been selected according to the pre-defined exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results: In analyzing the risk factors between the groups, it was found that there were 22 smokers in the study group and 18 in the control group. There were 11 non-smokers in the study group and 15 in the control group. The study shows that there were 29 non-diabetic patients in the study group and 28 in the control group. There were 4 diabetics in the study group and 5 in the control group. There was statistically no significant difference between study and control groups in smoker vs non-smoker and diabetics vs non-diabetics population. It was also found that there were 8 non-hypertensive patients in the study group and 29 in the control group. There were 25 hypertensive patients in the study group and 4 in the control group. There was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups. There were statistically significant differences between the study and control groups regarding hypertension and total serum cholesterol. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study we can conclude that hypertension, as well as low total serum cholesterol, are potent
