Abstract

Stroke is a neurological disorder characterized by occlusion of blood vessels in the brain as a result of thrombi
or emboli, which block laminar blood flow.Stroke is the third leading cause of death (after heart disease and
cancer).For the realization of this research, a descriptive epidemiological method was applied, as well as a
retrospective analysis of a total of 1132 patients with cerebral infarction from Strumica from the Statistics
Department of the Center for Public Health at PHI General Hospital - Strumica. A comparison was made in
terms of gender, age and age groups, morbidity rate. Мost of the patients were hospitalized in 2016 (21.4%), the
majority of the respondents are aged 65-74 years (35.0%), while the men have the higher risk of developing the
disease (57.6 %). The average age at hospitalization is 68 years, 66.8 for males and 69 for females. The average
morbidity rate per 10,000 inhabitants in the Strumica region is 14.3, while in the whole country is 14.7.There is
a continuous decrease in the number of hospitalized patients from 2016 to 2020, which in 2020 decreased by
50% compared to 2016.The incidence of stroke increases with age, reaching a peak in the seventh and eighth
