Table 2. Hazard ratio for myocardial infarction and stroke per 1 SD and 0.1 mm difference in common carotid artery intima‐media thickness adjusted for age and sex: results of a meta‐analysis.

	Myocardial infarction	Stroke
IMT difference	(Hazard ratio [95% CI])	(Hazard ratio [95% CI])
+1SD IMT difference	1.26 [1.21 –1.30]	1.32 [1.27 –1.38]
+0.10 mm IMT difference	1.15 [1.12 –1.17]	1.18 [1.16 –1.21]

CCA, common carotid artery; CI, confidence interval; IMT; intima‐media thickness; SD, standard deviation.
