v. Hypertension as a Stroke Factor

This page highlights the significance of hypertension in increasing the
likelihood of experiencing a stroke. A "map" visualisation displays the

global distribution of hypertension, while "bar charts" illustrate the
nations with the highest average prevalence of hypertension. A line

chart examines the temporal pattern of hypertension prevalence and its

relationship with stroke death rates, highlighting the importance of
controlling hypertension in preventing strokes. Figure 4.40 illustrates a

snapshot of the page that discusses hypertension as a contributing
factor to strokes.
