Stroke is a well-known a leading cause of death and disability in the Middle East. There remain many knowledge gaps in evaluating the prevalence of risk factors among patients with stroke in the Middle East. Unravelling the impact of these risk factors and controlling them can positively lower the incidence of stroke. Disparities in stroke risk factors, may well be related to ethnicity of the Middle Eastern populations , will be compared with those among stroke patients in the western literature.
