| Popis: | There are roughly 600 million people in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, of whom approximately 36% are living at or below the poverty line. According to this, neurologic injury disorders disproportionately affect this population, which faces not only most risk factors, but also has less developed health systems to deal with illness recovery. Further, most of the risk factors can be attributed to classic preventable cardiovascular risk factors, although there are important differences in demographics, socioeconomic status, and injury mechanisms that may influence the patient's outcome. |
