    The incidence of ischemic stroke in young adults has significantly increased, highlighting the need for identifying risk factors.

  • 2

    This study investigates the relationship between the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis in young ischemic stroke patients.

  • 3

    Data was collected from 161 patients aged 18 to 45, with 89 having intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

  • 4

    Higher ApoB levels and ApoB/ApoA-I ratios were found in patients with ICAS, alongside lower HDL-C and ApoA-I levels.

  • 5

    The study concludes that a higher ApoB/ApoA-I ratio is independently associated with ICAS in young stroke patients.
