The rate of second strokes among Mexican Americans has declined steeply since the turn of the century, a new study finds.
Between 2000 and 2013, the rate of recurrent stroke fell faster in Mexican Americans than in white people. By 2013, there was no difference between the two groups.
"Throughout this long-term study, this is the first time that we have encountered an improvement in any major marker of ethnic stroke disparities," said lead author Dr. Lewis Morgenstern, a professor of neurology and epidemiology at the University of Michigan.
