ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Stroke data were obtained as SMR01 (157,639 incident stroke hospitalization in Scotland between 1986-2005).Method:
To observe variation in weather parameter, with first stroke incidences per day, during winter, daily mean temperature/ total rainfall/average daily atmospheric pressure was compared with frequency of incident strokes per day using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance).Result:
The analysis reveals an inverse statistically signifi cant relationship for average daily temperature whereas total daily rainfall and average daily atmosphere pressure exhibit borderline significance.Conclusion:
Correlations of low temperature with stroke might be due to concurrent infection of respiratory system.
