Due to an increasing number of aging adults in the world’s population, there will be an overall increase in the number of diagnosed incident cases of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke in adults over the age of 40 in each of the seven major markets (the US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) over the next 10 years.

1. Epidemiology: Stroke – Aging global population leads to more incident cases of
stroke
ReportsnReports.com adds DataMoniter Market Research Report “Epidemiology: Stroke –
Aging global population leads to more incident cases of stroke’’ to its store.
Due to an increasing number of aging adults in the world’s population, there will be an
overall increase in the number of diagnosed incident cases of hemorrhagic and ischemic
stroke in adults over the age of 40 in each of the seven major markets (the US, Japan,
France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) over the next 10 years.
Features and benefits
Gain insight into market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of
stroke and atrial fibrillation incidence.
Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated wtih stroke
Highlights
Datamonitor epidemiologists forecast that in 2010 there were roughly 1.6 million incident
cases of ischemic stroke in the seven major markets (the US, Japan, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain, and the UK), and 1.9 million cases are predicted for 2020.
In 2010, there were roughly 233,974 diagnosed incident cases of hemorrhagic stroke in the
seven major markets (the US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) and about
276,492 incident cases are predicted for 2020.
Atrial fibrillation is one of the leading independent risk factors associated with stroke.
Datamonitor epidemiologists forecast there were almost 2 million incident cases of atrial
fibrillation in the seven major markets in 2010 and approximately 2.3 million incident cases
are forecast for 2020.
Your key questions answered
What are the most robust sources for stroke and atrial fibrillation incidence data?
How will the patient population change over the next decades in the US, Japan and five
major EU markets (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK)?
How do changes in population structure and risk factors affect the trend in incident stroke
and atrial fibrillation cases?

EPIDEMIOLOGIC RESULTS
Diagnosed incident cases of first-ever ischemic stroke
In 2020, there were will be 1.9 million incident cases of first-ever ischemic stroke in the
seven major markets
There will be positive growth in incident ischemic stroke cases in each of the seven major
markets
Age-standardized results for incident cases of first-ever ischemic stroke
Subpopulations for incident cases of ischemic stroke
Adults aged 85+ had the largest number of incident ischemic stroke cases in 2010 in each
of the seven major markets, except Japan
Women will have more incident cases of ischemic stroke than men, despite having lower
incidence rates
Diagnosed incident cases of hemorrhagic strokeThe US will have the largest number of
diagnosed incident cases of hemorrhagic stroke from 2010–20
Japan will have the largest average annual growth rate in diagnosed incident cases of
hemorrhagic stroke
Age-standardized results for diagnosed incidence rate of hemorrhagic stroke in the seven
major markets
Subpopulations for incident cases of hemorrhagic stroke
Adults aged 85+ had the largest number of diagnosed incident hemorrhagic stroke cases in
2010
Women will have more incident cases of hemorrhagic stroke than men across the seven
major markets in 2010
Total incident cases of atrial fibrillation
Current incident cases
Average annual growth rates of incident cases of atrial fibrillation
Age-standardized results
Subpopulations for incident cases of atrial fibrillation
Adults aged 80–84 had the largest number of incident atrial fibrillation cases in 2010
Men had more incident cases of atrial fibrillation than women in all of the seven major
markets in 2010
DISCUSSION
Ischemic stroke
Despite lower incidence rates, women will have more incident cases of ischemic stroke than
men
Hemorrhagic stroke
Men and women will have a similar number of incident hemorrhagic stroke cases in the
seven major markets
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a major risk factor for stroke and will continue to have a significant
impact on health
