Abstract

As the number of elderly people increases, the incidence of stroke, especially the hemorrhagic stroke, is increasing. A large-scale survey of the entire country pertaining to the incidence and demographic characteristics of hemorrhagic stroke in elderly is necessary. Through information garnered from a basic survey and clinical study, we must design a treatment program to reduce the mortality of elderly people through elucidating the specific properties of stroke pathophysiology.
