Stroke occurrence, mortality, and prevalence fluctuate generally among distinctive districts in China, and the quantity of patients who died from stroke is three times more than those who died from coronary heart disease. This study was carried out retrospectively with patients’ data, collected from the hospital database for a period of one year and structured questionnaire, using purposive sampling. Of all the risk factors associated with stroke, hypertension was the most prevalent accounting for 66.14%, of which 54.8% were male and 45.3% female. The other risk factors weren’t as prevalent with alcohol consumption accounting for 42.5%, smoking 43.3%, diabetes mellitus 29.1%, heart disease (coronary heart disease, ischemic heart disease) 38.58%, atrial fibrillation 5.5%, and 8.6% had had an episode of Transient Ischemic Attack. In China, the increase rate of hypertension and stroke related deaths shows a need for improvement in health care from the hospitals, as well as individuals. Stroke can serve as an alarm to underlying factors, and physiotherapy can help implement better behavioral interventions.
