Multivariable adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, site, education, current smoking, systolic blood pressure, height, body mass index, HDL cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, triglycerides, log glucose, and log HOMA insulin resistance index.

CCA: Common Carotid Artery; HDL: High Density Lipoprotein; IMT: Intima-media Thickness; LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein; SE: Standard Error
