Dose–Response Association Between High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies

PEER REVIEWED

The 4 figures show a linear inverse dose–response association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and risk of total stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage, a nonlinear inverse dose–response association for ischemic stroke risk, but a linear positive dose–response association for intracerebral hemorrhage risk.

Figure.
Linear dose–response association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of stroke and stroke subtypes modeled with restricted cubic splines. Graph A shows total stroke; B, ischemic stroke; C, intracerebral hemorrhage; and D, subarachnoid hemorrhage.
