Beta Coefficients for the Association between Cholesterol Efflux Capacity and Carotid Intima–Media Thickness.

Linear-Regression Covariates^*	Beta Coefficient per 1-SD Increase in Efflux Capacity (95% CI)	P Value
Age and sex	−0.02 (−0.04 to −0.003)	0.02
Age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors	−0.02 (−0.04 to −0.004)	0.02
Age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol	−0.03 (−0.06 to −0.01)	0.003
Age, sex, cardiovascular risk factors, and apolipoprotein A-I	−0.04 (−0.06 to −0.01)	0.005

Cardiovascular risk factors were systolic blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
