ABSTRACT Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide and the vast majority can be attributed to modifiable risk factors, mainly behavioral and metabolic. The top six risk factors responsible for cardiovascular mortality in Brazil in 2019 were high systolic blood pressure, inadequate dietary exposure, high body mass index, high LDL cholesterol, high fasting blood glucose levels, and tobacco.
