0

The 2017 report on the state of health of the population in France, coordinated in particular by Santé Publique France, has just been released. Regarding strokes, we learn that the regions with the highest rates in 2014 are, in descending order, Guyana, Reunion, Guadeloupe, Hauts-de-France, Brittany and Martinique. "These regional disparities can be explained by disparities in the prevalence of the main arterial risk factors (high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity smoking, etc.)", according to the publication. Regarding the highest stroke mortality rates in 2011-2013, we find the four overseas departments and regions, Hauts-de-France and Brittany._EH
