Abstract
The findings of the present study suggest that in the currently aging society, cardioembolic stroke is the most important stroke subtype. The roles of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia are greatest in stroke patients in their 50s to 60s. In older patients, the role of atrial fibrillation is more significant.
