Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
WHtR is a better indicator than traditional metrics for early identification of carotid atherosclerosis in patients at high risk of stroke.
WHtR was determined to perform better compared with other traditional indicators for correlating CAS. We believe that WHtR is a better indicator for the early identification of CAS in individuals with a high risk of stroke. This will facilitate the early detection and intervention of CAS.
