To investigate serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) levels in survivors of cerebrovascular disease and clarify conflicting evidence regarding age- and sex-specific risk.
Reviewed literature regarding high-density lipoprotein levels across distinct age and sex cohorts with cerebrovascular disease.
Assessed serum HDLC concentrations in survivors of cerebrovascular disease.
Previous studies report conflicting patterns of reduced HDLC in cerebrovascular disease, with some showing reductions restricted to patients under age 55 or solely in men.
Other historical cohorts demonstrate significant HDLC reductions in elderly individuals across both sexes, or non-significant reductions limited to women.

Implication

Low HDL-C association with CVD remains inconclusive in small studies; leaves open whether levels should inform stroke risk assessment.
