A role of ethnic and social aspects of risk factors for stroke has been studied in 210 patients born in ethnically homogenous marriages. Patients were recruited from the main ethnic groups of Izhevsk, i.e. Russian, Udmurt and Tartar. Between-ethnic differences in the prevalence of social and cultural factors conferring the risk for stroke have been found. In particular, these factors dominated in Udmurt patients.
