    Ten risk factors are associated with 90% of strokes. To reduce the #1in4 global adult lifetime risk of #stroke we can take individual action, but population-based policies will reduce the risks for whole socieites and get us to SDG3 faster. @ncdalliance @WHO

    New Global Burden of Disease data analysis finds stroke still 2nd largest cause of death, low income countries bearing the highest burden and the 'conspicuous inefficiency' of current prevention strategies. We CAN and MUST do better. #GBD thelancet.com/journals/laneu…
