Figure.. Crude and Age-Standardized Estimated Number of US Adults 20 Years or Older With Self-Reported Stroke
A, Crude stroke prevalence estimates were applied to the 1999 to 2002 Current Population Survey (CPS), 2003 to 2006 CPS, 2007 to 2010 CPS and American Community Survey–Public Use Microdata Sample (ACS-PUMS), 2011 to 2014 ACS-PUMS, and 2015 to 2018 ACS-PUMS to calculate the number of affected individuals with stroke in each 4-year epoch. B, Stroke prevalence estimates were age-standardized to the 2017-2018 ACS-PUMS using the following age categories: 20 to 39 years, 40 to 59 years, and 60 years and older. Age-standardized stroke prevalence estimates were then applied to the 2017-2018 ACS-PUMS to calculate the age-standardized number of affected individuals with stroke in each 4-year epoch. Error bars indicate 95% CIs.
