Background: The epidemiology of stroke at different geographical locations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has not been adequately investigated.
Methods: In this study, clinical types and risk factors of stroke were compared among patients at low-altitude (Riyadh, 620 m) and high-altitude (Al Baha > 2000 m) areas using a case-control study design. One-hundred ninety recently diagnosed cases (109 from Riyadh and 81 from Al Baha) were verified and subjects were interviewed.
