Figure 1.

Women and men comparison of the associations of proteins with relative wall thickness (RWT): associations of top 10 proteins associating with RWT in 520 women and men, respectively. A negative β represents that a high value of this protein is associated with lower RWT, and a positive β represents that a high value of this protein is associated with higher RWT. Pink bars represent the analysis in women and blue bars in men, and the length of the bars represents the 95% CI of the age-corrected models. Most proteins that associate with a higher RWT in women are neutral or negatively associated in men. Most proteins related to a lower RWT in men are indifferent in women. The * symbol is depicted for proteins that are significantly associated after correction for multiple testing (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P<0.05). For abbreviations of the proteins, we refer to Table 5.
