This article discusses a study conducted in Australia that examined the factors contributing to the decline in the risk of stroke in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study found that the incidence of stroke in this population almost halved over a 15-year period. The researchers analyzed temporal changes in cerebrovascular disease risk factors and their management to determine the primary reasons for this decline. The study identified several predictors of stroke, including age, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, diabetes duration, atrial fibrillation/flutter, and previous cerebrovascular disease. The findings suggest that improvements in the management of risk factors have contributed to the reduction in stroke risk among individuals with type 2 diabetes. [Extracted from the article]
