Overall, 39% of respondents perceived themselves to be at risk for having a stroke. In the multivariate analyses, younger age, current smoking, and a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and stroke/TIA were independently associated with perceived risk for stroke. Respondents with atrial fibrillation were no more likely to report being at risk for stroke compared to respondents without atrial fibrillation. Perceived risk for stroke increased as the number of risk factors increased. However, 46% of respondents with three or more risk factors did not perceive themselves to be at risk.
