Introduction: Stroke is one of the most common neurological diseases that cause mortality and morbidity in the society, and management of risk factors is important. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to compare the risk factors in stroke with past and present. Methods: Patients hospitalized in the neurology service of our hospital with a diagnosis of stroke in the first three months after 01.01.2019 were retrospectively handled and a form was prepared in the same format of the study performed 27 years ago. New patients 'Group 1'; Patients 27 years ago were classified as 'Group 2'. Results: In Group1, HT was 63.0%, respectively; DM 32.1%; heart disease 39.8%; previous SVH 25.5%; hyperlipidemia 20.4%; smoking 17.3%; while alcohol use is 3.0%; In Group 2, these rates were 66.4%, 34.0%, 42.7%, 22.7%, 43.9%, 33.6%, 7.0%, respectively. When the risk factors of the patients were compared between the groups, there was a statistically significant decrease in cigarette-alcohol use and hyperlipidemia in favor of today (p>0.05). It was observed that the mortality decreased today compared to the past. (p<0.05). Conclusion: Factors that pose a risk in stroke and complications of combating diseases are evident in reducing mortality; It was thought to be partially effective in increasing the positive morbidity.
