Abstract
Abstract :Hypertension is a non-communicable disease (NCD) of concern to the World Health Organization (WHO). The prevalence of hypertension in developing countries is higher than in developed countries. Stroke is the third cause of death worldwide and the most common cause of disability in adults. Many factors cause stroke, one of which is hypertension.
aim:The aim of this systematic review is to better understand the risk factors for stroke, especially in hypertensive patients. This systematic review can also be used as a synthesis tool for empirical research so that problems related to stroke risk factors, especially in hypertensive patients, can be identified based on evidence.
Methods: The process used to conduct a systematic review involves reviewers searching multiple research reviews published in electronic databases.
Result :According to the demographics and risk factors for stroke in those aged less than 60 years, according to the findings of this study, the prevalence rate of stroke may vary for men and women (gender) in the studied group, which is significantly correlated with age. Among the adjusted risk factors for stroke, HTN, diabetes, AF, OCP consumption, and CAD were significantly correlated with age. From the several studies listed above, the risk factors for stroke in hypertensive patients influence the incidence of stroke.
conclusion:Many factors cause stroke. From the several studies listed above, the risk factors for stroke in hypertensive patients influence the incidence of stroke with varying ages. However, from all research, the highest number of people with hypertension is still in the age range of 50-60 years and above. For this reason, research related to risk factors for stroke in hypertensive patients of productive age and other factors such as control compliance and medication consumption must be further evaluated.
