• Incidence and risk factors for cerebral stroke and its changing pattern with time were studied in a prospective population survey which has been conducted in a Japanese rural community, Hisayama. Cerebral infarction was more frequent than intracerebral hemorrhage among Hisayama residents, however, the incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage would actually have been higher in Hisayama residents than in western populations especially in 1960's or 1970's. Incidence of both intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction decreased in the recent Hisayama population, and among the types of cerebral infarction perforating infarcts most prominently decreased. The reduced prevalence of hypertension and successful management of hypertension were considered to contribute to the reduction in cerebral stroke. It is expected, however, that characteristics or patterns of cerebral stroke would change in the future with increasing prevalence of atherogenic factors among the.Japanese population.
