Basic Model was also adjusted for MRI machine type and IMT reader.

Cohort: secondary cohort that had diabetes for 1–15 years with mild to moderate non-proliferative retinopathy and urinary albumin excretion rate < 200 mg/dl at the DCCT baseline versus primary cohort had diabetes for 1–5 years with no related complications

The weighted mean of the covariate values over the period of the DCCT and EDIC combined up to the time of the cardiac MRI, where the individual visit values are weighted by the interval of time between visits that differed during DCCT and EDIC.

The units are missing for SBP, LDL and Hba1c
