Twenty-year epidemiologic study on LDL-C levels in relation to the risks of atherosclerotic event, hemorrhagic stroke, and cancer death among young and middle-aged population in China

Participants with baseline LDL-C <40 mg/dL had the lowest ASCVD risk. An excess risk of hemorrhagic stroke was observed in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and LDL-C <70 mg/dL. LDL-C 70-99 mg/dL had reasonably low ASCVD risk without excess risk of other life-threatening diseases.
