P values stand for comparison with the respective base model. CAC score refers to the natural logarithm of (CAC+1) values. Carotid IMT refers to a composite z score for overall maximal IMT. LV mass was adjusted for body size when implied as a separate imaging measure but not in LV mass/volume ratio. Boldface indicates to imaging measures leading to the highest increment in AUC when added to the base model.
