Objective: To perform a health maintenance organization-based case-control study to evaluate the association of total and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol with the risk of stroke subtypes and in patient subgroups. Methods: Cases had a confirmed incident ischemic stroke (n = 1,242) or hemorrhagic stroke (n = 313). Controls (n = 6,455) were identified in a companion myocardial infarction study. Risk of stroke was modeled using logistic regression. Results: The highest total cholesterol quintile was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke compared to the lowest quintile (OR = 1.6, 95% CI 1.3 to 2.0) with the strongest subtype associations for atherosclerotic stroke (OR = 3.2) and lacunar stroke (OR = 2.4). The highest HDL cholesterol quintile was associated with a decreased risk of ischemic stroke compared to the lowest quintile (OR = 0.8, CI 0.6 to 1.0). Subgroup analyses suggested that the total cholesterol association was more important for patients
