| Abstract: | Ischemic stroke subtype distribution was compared between Mexican Americans (MAs) and non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) in a community-based stroke surveillance study in Nueces County, TX. There was no difference in the distribution of stroke subtype by ethnicity (p = 0.19). There was a similar proportion of small-vessel and large-artery strokes between the two ethnic groups (p = 0.32). Differences in stroke rates among MAs and NHWs are not explained by the distribution of ischemic stroke subtypes. |
