Only higher TG levels were significantly associated with risk of stroke (Fig. 3 and Additional file 6), whereas all of the lipid biomarkers were significantly associated with MI in both crude and multivariable adjusted models, with TC, apoB-100, TG, and Lp(a) showing positive and HDL-C and apo(a) showing inverse associations, confirming findings from previous studies (Fig. 3 and Additional file 7). This evidence concerns the gene LPA and stroke disorder.
