Women Less Aware Of Risk Factors For Stroke
Women are significantly more likely to die of a stroke than men, yet they are also less aware (spontaneously) than men of potential risk factors, according to MORI poll results released today by The Stroke Association. The figures, released to coincide with a major discussion and vote by the National Federation of Women's Institutes on the issue of stroke care, show that women are considerably less likely than men to recognise that eating healthily, and lowering their alcohol consumption, can help to reduce the risk of stroke. 10,000 women will be lending their voice to the issue of stroke care at the National Federation of Women's Institutes Triennial General Meeting at Wembley on the 7th June.

Popularity Of UK Museums
The Museums & Galleries Commission (MGC) today unveiled the first in a major series of annual research reports into museum and gallery visitors. Conducted by MORI, with financial support from the Campaign for Museums, the research revealed that thirty five percent of all adults have been to a museum within the last year. This is a higher proportion than those who attend historical buildings or stately homes (32 per cent), artistic events such as theatre, opera, or ballet (30 per cent) and even more than theme parks (28 per cent). They attract a significantly higher proportion than those who attend pop and classical concerts, 16 and 12 per cent. Museums and galleries are socially inclusive, attracting people from all walks of life and they are seen to represent good value for money. Both those who visit museums and those who do not believe that museums are of social and educational value.
