The objectives of the study were to assess the stroke risk among patients attending OPDs of the selected hospital and to find out the association between stroke risk and selected baseline variables of patients. Descriptive research design was used for the present study. Health promotion model by Nola. J. Pender was used as the conceptual framework for the study. The main study was done among 320 patients. The samples were selected using convenience sampling technique. Baseline data assessment proforma and Stroke risk score card were used as the tools for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study identified 88.8% of the patients belong to the category of caution and 5.6% of the patients belong to high and low risk categories respectively. Baseline variables like age and occupation were statistically associated with stroke risk scores. The study concluded that majority of the samples were belongs to the category caution.
