Men are 60 % more likely to have strokes than women of the same age, and the older one gets, the more likely one is to suffer a stroke. For instance, out of 100,000 38-year-olds, about 100 will have a stroke. But among 63-year-olds, 1,000-or 10 times as many-will have one.
例如同樣年齡的男女，男性中風的機率比女性高 60 %；年紀愈大，中風的機率也愈高，例如 38 歲時，每 10 萬人約有 100 人中風，到 63 歲時，10 萬人就有 1,000 人，機率高 10 倍。
