Journal of the American Heart Association, Volume 15, Issue 6 , March 17, 2026. Background.
Native American (NA) people are at an increased risk for stroke and are disproportionally affected by stroke risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes. The objective of this study is to characterize stroke risk factors in Wisconsin Native American people compared with an age‐ and sex‐matched population in the SHOW (Survey of the Health of Wisconsin) study to direct future therapeutic efforts.
Methods. Stroke risk factor information was collected from an NA and an age‐ and sex‐matched general Wisconsin population.
Stroke risk factor data collected included age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, history of transient ischemic attack/stroke, history of coronary artery disease, history of hypertension, history of diabetes, current smoking status, and laboratory bloodwork (lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, and average glucose).
