        abstract = {Stroke is a condition caused by blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain, leading to loss of oxygen supply to brain cells. It can affect speech, movement, and breathing. The Objectives of the study is to Assess the Level of Knowledge Score on Prevention and Management of Stroke among Elderly and to find out the association between the level of Knowledge Score on Prevention and Management of Stroke among Elderly in Selected Communities with demographic variables. The study adopted a Self - Structured Questionnaire, 100 samples of elderly participants were selected for the study using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Demographic variables and Self-Structured knowledge questionnaire were used to collect data required for the study.
