Table 1.
Baseline characteristics of study population (15 and above) and history of stroke, prevalence by urban and rural areas (N = 44,742).
Figure 1.
Relationship between SES and occurrence of stroke in study population aged over 15yrs (N = 44,742).
The estimated probability of stroke is presented here on a logit scale and was obtained for different values of the wealth index after controlling for the following factors: Age, gender, and history of chronic diseases prior to stroke (hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, rheumatism and other chronic diseases).
