2. Study Population N Stroke Questionnaire Question on Previous History of Stroke FNRi - National Nutrition and Health Survey i (NNHeS i)(2005) Ages 20 and above 4,753 1.9% 1.4% FNRi – NNHeS ii (2008) Ages 20 and above 7,700 - 1.2% PNA Community Stroke Prevalence Study, Morong, Rizal (2005) All age groups 19,113 0.5% - SSP Currimao Stroke Prevalence Study (2009) Ages 40 and above 1,400 1.6% 1.9% Although previous community-based studies have determined the prevalence of stroke in the country (Table 1), comprehensive estimates of incidence remains in lack. The wide variation in stroke prevalence was due to different age groups surveyed, different methods of sample collection, and case ascertainment. However, all three studies utilized the validated questionnaires for stroke prevalence of the Philippine Neurological Association (PNA). TABLE 1. Prevalence of Stroke in the Philippines 10-13 FNRI: Food and Nutrition Research Institute; PNA: Philippine Neurological Association; SSP: Stroke Society of the Philippines II. STROKE AWARENESS A key strategy to reduce the disease burden from stroke (or any illness) is the promotion of public awareness. Results from a community survey entitled “ Stroke Awareness Gap In the Philippines ” (SAGIP) study among 750 adults in Currimao, Ilocos Norte, show that only 34.4% of the respondents demonstrated some knowledge about stroke. Twenty-one percent (21%) confused stroke with heart attack, while 27% had no knowledge about stroke. Additionally, more than half of the respondents incorrectly attributed chest pain and shortness of breath to stroke. The findings imply that in general, there was poor public knowledge about stroke and its risk factors 14 , underscoring the need to educate more people and expand public access to information to help reduce the knowledge gap. The SSP through its Committee On BRain Attack (COBRA) develops educational materials using diverse formats (e.g., multimedia campaigns) and organizes lay fora to increase public knowledge and understanding of stroke. Topics include sign and symptom recognition (Panel 1) and taking proper courses of action. Panel 1. Common Signs and Symptoms of Stroke 1. Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body. 2. Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding. 3. Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes. 4. Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination. 5. Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
