β = Regression parameter estimate, the average difference in STIFF or DDIAM in that race/ethnic group vs. reference P = probability that the null hypothesis is correct, that there is no difference between the group vs. reference

Model 1: Univariate

Model 2: Age at Ultrasound, Sex, Education

Model 3: Age at Ultrasound, Sex, Education, BMI, Hypertension, Diabetes, LDL, HDL, Presence of Plaque, Pack Years Smoking, Alcohol Use, Triglycerides, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate, Moderate/Heavy Physical Activity, Lipid Lowering Medications, History of CAD
