Stroke incidence, prevalence, and mortality have historically been reported to be higher in males than in women. But over time, this difference appears to be closing [1]. Recent evidence from high-income nations suggests that the risk of stroke increases with age and that elderly women over 75 may be more likely to experience a stroke than males. In various Southeast Asian nations, women under the age of 40 also experienced a rise in the incidence of ischemic stroke over time [2]. Additionally, it has been noted that females are more likely to die from stroke in the Middle East and North Africa than males are. It is critical to have a better understanding of stroke in women given the evolving epidemiology
