Lipid Profiles and Late-Onset Ischemic Stroke in Adults Aged 60 and Older

A retrospective cohort of 565 lipid-lowering therapy-naive adults with first-ever acute ischemic stroke, enrolled between March 2022 and June 2025. The dataset compares lipid parameters across three age groups (60-69, 70-79, ≥80) to identify predictors of late-onset stroke. It was authored by Shusheng Jiao and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Identify age-specific lipid risk factors for ischemic stroke based on total cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein levels.
• Train predictive models for late-onset stroke risk using non-HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglyceride values.
• Analyze gender-specific associations between lipid parameters and stroke incidence in older adults.
• Study the prevalence of dyslipidemia subtypes across different age cohorts in a stroke population.

Strengths

• Includes 565 patient records with strict exclusion criteria for prior lipid-lowering therapy.
• Analyzes multiple lipid parameters including total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, VLDL-C, non-HDL-C, and apolipoprotein B.
• Stratifies patients into three distinct age groups (60-69, 70-79, ≥80) for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal and selection bias inherent to a single retrospective study from figshare.
