Correlations greater than the absolute value of ρ = 0.12 were significant using a per-test Sidak-adjusted.

p<0.002 and a family-wise alpha of 0.05.

BMI = Body mass index; CIMT = carotid artery intima-media thickness; LDL-C = Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C = High-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FPS = Framingham point scores.
