在密西西比的Copiah县，对家庭和慢性病护理机构进行了单独的调查。家庭调查包括筛选访谈和全面普查。委员会认证的神经科医生，使用定义的诊断标准，检查所有同意的人，他们要么是符合条件的长期护理机构的居民，要么是家庭成员，访谈反应提示中风。总共确定了250名中风幸存者，得出（截至1978年1月1日）每10万居民中有1,060人的点患病率。男性和黑人的经性别调整的患病率较高。随着年龄的增长，乳腺癌特异性患病率增加。近20%的中风幸存者没有接受过这种情况的住院治疗。
Separate surveys of households and chronic-care facilities were conducted in Copiah County, Mississippi. The household survey included screening interviews and a complete census. Board-certified neurologists, using defined diagnostic criteria, examined all consenting persons who were either eligible residents of the chronic-care facilities or household members with interview responses suggestive of stroke. In all, 250 stroke survivors were identified, yielding (as to Jan 1, 1978) a point prevalence ratio of 1,060 per 100,000 inhabitants. Age-adjusted prevalence ratios were higher for men and for blacks. Age-specific prevalence ratios increased with advancing age. Nearly 20% of identified stroke survivors had not received inpatient care for that condition.
