BMI – body mass index; tHcy – total homocysteine; TC – total cholesterol; HDL-C – high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate; AST – aspartate aminotransferase; ALT – alanine aminotransferase; T2DM – type 2 diabetes mellitus; Ref reference; OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval. Values are regression coefficients [OR (95% CI)] from univariate regression models and reflect differences in stroke occur per unit change of each covariate and for different categories of each covariate as compared to the reference group.
