Stroke is defined as “rapidly developing clinical sign of focal or global distribution of cerebral function, with symptoms lasting 24 hours or longer, or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than a vascular origin. Stroke is a major public health problem, both in developed and developing countries. Stroke is becoming an important cause of early death and disability in India due to increasing prevalence of the major key modifiable risk factors like type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The main aims of this study was to assess the risk of stroke among patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objectives of the study were to find out of association between risk factors of stroke with selected socio-demographic variables. The methodology used for the study was Descriptive survey method, setting of the study Narayan Medical Collage and Hospitals, Sasaram, Rohtas. Samples and size of were 100 patients with Random sampling. Data were collected by an interview technique using a modified stroke risk assessment tool by the National Stroke Association, USA. Data were analyzed and interpreted on the basis of Descriptive (frequency, percentage) and inferential (chi square) statistical methods. The findings of the study were Out of 100 samples 56% of them were in high-risk category, 40% of were in caution and 4% in low-risk category. There was a significant association found in relation to socio-demographic variables such as educational qualification, type of family, type of diet, weight, and complications of hypertension (P<0.05).
