Abstract
Background and Purpose: Every year, 15 million people worldwide suffer from an acute stroke, with one-third dying due to the incident. South Asians have a greater stroke mortality rate than the rest of the world. The causes of South Asians' increased risk of cerebrovascular illness remain unknown. The following study seeks to examine current stroke knowledge comprehensively and systematically in South Asian populations, particularly identifying distinctive aspects of stroke epidemiology in this demography. Summary of Review: Stroke is a common occurrence among South Asians, which may be due to inadequate metabolic and glycemic responses. Furthermore, hyperglycemia and stress, early predictors of long-term stroke mortality, appear to predict stroke-related death. Socioeconomic circumstances additionally serve as contributory factors. Conclusion: Given their greater incidence of heart disease, stress, diabetes, and the need for specific healthcare techniques, this study emphasizes the urgency of more significant stroke research among the South Asian population.
