MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination test; MoCA = Montreal Cognitive Assessment test; ACE-III = Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination—version III; LDL-C = LDL-cholesterol levels; Significance = significance level detected by the 2-tailed Independent Samples t-test; NIHSS = National Institute of Health Stroke Scale. BMI—body mass index. BP – blood pressure
