*
Mean ages, total counts of stroke events, and deaths in each sex and age group, as well as crude and age standardised rates, were calculated for a combined 10 year period.
†
Population denominators were obtained from the Office for National Statistics website.
‡
Mortality rates and stroke event rates for all ages were age standardised to the 2013 European standard population (see Methods), and case fatality was standardised to the study population.
