Abstract
In Japan, the mortality rate for stroke reached a peak around 1965, and it has been declining since then. The major reason is a decrease in the mortality rate of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and this has started from 1960.1 From a global standpoint, Japan had the highest mortality of stroke worldwide in 1965 with the mortality rate of ICH being quite high among all stroke types.2 Thereafter, the mortality rate of ICH dramatically decreased as a result of the dissemination of the treatment for hypertension and the improvement in dietary habits.
