Abstract PDF: Stroke is one of the major macrovascular complications of diabetes and increases morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia contributes to a heightened risk of stroke incidence. Moreover, people with diabetes may have poorer post-stroke outcomes and higher risk of stroke recurrence than those without diabetes. Recent cardiovascular outcome trials of some antidiabetic medications have shown beneficial effects on stroke prevention. Prevention and improving outcomes of stroke in patients with diabetes requires proper management of hyperglycemia and additional risk factors. This review is an evidence-based approach to epidemiology of stroke in diabetes, the role of glycemic control, and antidiabetic medications in stroke prevention in patients with diabetes mellitus.

As the global population continues to age, the rising prevalence of diabetes among older adults has become a significant public health concern. Consequently, effective and safe management of diabetes mellitus in this population is an increasingly critical focus in clinical practice. Older patients present considerable variability in functional status, with many experiencing physical disabilities, visual impairments, cognitive decline, or psychological conditions such as depression. Therefore, individualized treatment strategies that consider the presence and progression of geriatric syndromes, comorbidities, and the risk of hypoglycemia are essential for optimizing the pharmacological management of diabetes in older adults.

Background
The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is significant in Korea. Ultimately, public knowledge and awareness of CVD risk factors and prevention are essential to reduce its burden. Hence, this study aimed to examine the level of public awareness of CVD risk factors and prevention in Korea in 2022.
Methods
We used data from the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Awareness Survey conducted by the Korean Society of Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in June 2022. Using a structured web-based questionnaire, 2,000 individuals aged 20 years or more were surveyed on computers or mobile devices. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, the presence of cardiometabolic disease, CVD concerns and self-assessed likelihood, and awareness of CVD prevention were analyzed.
Results
Cancer (44.3%) was the most feared disease, followed by CVD (19.5%). Nevertheless, most respondents stated that they were likely to develop CVD in their lifetime (67.4%). Only 9.2% of respondents were aware of the details of recommendations to prevent CVD, and this level of knowledge was also low among respondents with cardiometabolic diseases (10.7%). Not smoking, being physically active, eating a healthy diet, and reducing alcohol consumption were deemed easy to implement. On the contrary, reducing stress, being physically active, and eating a healthy diet were considered the most difficult recommendations to practice.
Conclusions
Public awareness of CVD risk factors and prevention appeared to be insufficient in Korea. Our research suggests that simple but practical recommendations should be conveyed and promoted to raise public awareness, which is currently inadequate.
