Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is one of the most prevalent causes of death and acquired inability all over the world. Besides the high rates of mortality, stroke is an important cause of neurologic deficits that will need rehabilitee, since 70% of the patients will not come back for their work and 30% will need help to walk. Understand the epidemiology profile and the contribution of any risk factor is essential to establish specific local politics in order to lower the incidence and complication rates, not only in short term but also in long term. Prevention can be made at 90% cases of stroke, since these cases are attributed to modifiable risk factors. Objective: Guide and alert Juiz de Fora’s population about changeable risk factors and prevention of stroke. Experience report: During the final week of October we made educative speeches and offer some guidance about stroke and his modifiable risk factors. Furthermore, the neurology patients, their companions and local people, had their blood pressure assessed, as so as their abdominal circumference. Those with some alteration were guided to look for specific medical support. Conclusion: Education about cardiovascular diseases prevention, in special stroke, which is known for having so many modifiable risk factors, is essential to avoid the incidence of these pathology to increase.
