Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) for numerical variables and counts (%) for categorical variables. Statistically significant differences were determined using the χ2 test for categorical variables, and Student t test for continuous variables, between different groups. TC indicates total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LAA, large-artery atherosclerosis stroke; BMI, body mass index.
