I decided to take a few moments to find some statistics on strokes.

The age standardized decline in deaths from people who have had strokes declined
by 63% between 1970 and 2002.

Stroke is the leading cause of disability among adults in the U.S.
Stroke risk increases with age. For each decade after age 55, the risk of stroke doubles.

The number of adults aged 65 years and over is projected to increase 35% from 2010
to 2020.

So in general terms the fundamental factors related to stroked show that many more
adults will be entering the higher probability age to have a stroke. At the same
time adults are less likely to die of a stroke so are more likely to need rehabilitation.
