Morphological markers of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis at baseline and after follow-up assessed with McNemar’s or paired t-test.

Markers	Baseline	Follow-up	$\Delta{}$	p
Markers	N = 141 Mean (SD)	N = 141 Mean (SD)	Mean (SD)	p
CIMT dx (mm)	0.54 (0.09)	0.62 (0.10)	0.08 (0.12)	$<$ 0.001
CIMT sin (mm)	0.54 (0.09)	0.62 (0.10)	0.08 (0.11)	$<$ 0.001
CIMT max (mm)	0.67 (0.11)	0.74 (0.11)	0.08 (0.12)	$<$ 0.001
CIMT bilat $>$ 0.9 (N/%)	2/1.1	3/2.1	1/1.0	NS*
asCIMT bilat (N/%)	99/52.9	111/78.8	12/25.9	$<$ 0.001*
Carotid plaque (N/%)	9/4.8	25/17.9	16/13.1	$<$ 0.001*

Remarks: CIMT dx/sin/max, common carotid artery intima-media thickness: mean value of right/left carotid artery/maximum value; CIMT bilat $>$ 0.9 mm, common carotid artery intima-media thickness $>$ 0.9 mm bilaterally; asCIMT bilat, pathological common carotid artery intima-media thickness by age and sex on the right or left; SD, standard deviation; NS, statistically nonsignificant difference; N, number; p, statistical significance; *, McNemar’s test; $\Delta{}$ , change, difference. In McNemar’s test the sample size was N = 187.
