Table 5. Final regression models for common carotid intimal media thickness in European-Americans.
Independent Variable (increment) | CC IMT (n = 396) |
β-Coefficient (95% CI) | |
Age (10 yr. increase) | 0.11 (0.09, 0.13) |
BMI (5.6 kg/m2) | 0.03 (0.01, 0.04) |
CD4+ Memory cells (15.2%) | 0.02 (0.006, 0.04) |
CD4+ Naive cells (14.2%) | −0.02 (−0.004, −0.03,) |
Model R2 | 0.36 |
Multivariate regression was performed as described in Methods with common carotid intimal media thickness (CC IMT) as the dependent variable. CD4+ naive and memory cells were analyzed in separate models. Analyses were stratified by race/ethnicity; results from European-Americans are presented.
