Asian characteristics that differ from the West lead to higher stroke incidence. Stroke epidemiology studies in Asia have shown varying levels of mortality, incidence, prevalence, and burden of disease. Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor found in Asia. Besides ethnicity that is associated with stroke incidence, both systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and blood pressure variability are positively correlated with stroke incidence. Post-stroke cognitive impairment is one of the sequelae that affect one-third of stroke survivors and has become a significant public health concern that is often neglected despite its increasing prevalence. Therefore, it is very important to prevent recurrence by treating stroke optimally and effectively. Increasing awareness and treatment adherence to hypertension, the leading risk factor for stroke, became the main goal in several countries in Asia.enAsia; hypertension; stroke[SDGs]SDG3Asia; awareness; blood pressure variability; cerebrovascular accident; clinical effectiveness; dementia; diastolic blood pressure; disease burden; global health; human; hypertension; incidence; medication compliance; mortality rate; post stroke dementia; prevalence; recurrent disease; Review; risk factor; systolic blood pressure; blood pressure; cerebrovascular accident; hypertension; Asia; Blood Pressure; Humans; Hypertension; Incidence; Risk Factors; Strokereview10.1111/jch.14099331903992-s2.0-85096667710WOS:000589175500001https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85096667710
