Advanced age is one of the most significant stroke risk factors. 95% of stroke occurs in people age 45 and older, and two-thirds of stroke occurs in those over the age of 65. [53] [230] A person's risk of dying if he or she does have stroke also increases with age. However, stroke can occur at any age, including in childhood. [citation needed]
The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage is estimated at 24.6 cases per 100,000 person years with the incidence rate being similar in men and women. [7] [8] The incidence is much higher in the elderly, especially those who are 85 or older, who are 9.6 times more likely to have an intracerebral hemorrhage as compared to those of middle age. [8]
The prevalence of intracranial aneurysm is about 1–5% (10 million to 12 million persons in the United States) and the incidence is 1 per 10,000 persons per year in the United States (approximately 27,000), with 30- to 60-year-olds being the age group most affected.
The incidence of all of these diseases increases exponentially with age. [78] Of the roughly 150,000 people who die each day across the globe, about two thirds—100,000 per day—die of age-related causes. [79] In industrialized nations, the proportion is higher, reaching 90%. [79]

[1] The working age population is also expected to decline proportionally of the population. [6] In 1999, they made up 63.8%, in 2039 they are estimated to make up 59.2%. [1]
