Key Highlights
- Retinal arteriosclerosis prevalence: 13.98% in males, 8.57% in females.
- Higher ApoB levels and ApoB/ApoA1 ratios in individuals with retinal arteriosclerosis.
- ApoB and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio independently associated with retinal arteriosclerosis.
- Significant associations found in adults ≥45 years, non-smokers, and non-hypertensive individuals.
- Potential for integrating apolipoprotein profiling into cardiovascular risk assessment.
