Characterizing lipid profiles associated with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis in rural-dwelling adults: A population-based study

•We explore lipids associated with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (aICAS). •Lipid profiles for aICAS are high atherogenic and low antiatherogenic lipids. •Having more abnormal lipid measurements is related to a higher likelihood of aICAS. Background Although individual lipid parameters have been frequently examined in association with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (aICAS), few population-based studies have investigated...
