Association of age with longitudinal progression of carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) among women who remained premenopausal, transitioned from pre- to postmenopause, or were postmenopausal. Thin lines represent progression of CIMT within individuals. Thick lines represent estimates from a linear mixed-effect model, with random intercept and terms for menopausal transition status (remained premenopausal, transitioned from pre- to postmenopausal, postmenopausal), age, and the interaction of age and menopausal transition status. Sample sizes (number of women/person-visits): all (979/3247), women with HIV (703/2321), women without HIV (276/926).
