CAD coronary artery disease, IS ischemic stroke, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The value of triglyceride was presented as median (interquartile range), the difference between CAD/IS patients and controls was determined by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. P₁, CAD vs. controls; P₂, IS vs. controls; P₃, CAD vs. IS
