Table 2. Estimated reduction (-) or excess (+) in cIMT per 1 standard deviation increase in HDL-P or HDL-C (n=870), 2006 - 2008.

Parameter	Model	cIMT (μm)	95% CI	P value
HDL-P	Unadjusted	-47.2	-59.0 , -35.3	<0.001
	Base covariates	-22.1	-34.4 , -9.9	<0.001
	Base covariates + HDL-C	-22.8	-37.9 , -7.7	0.003
HDL-C	Unadjusted	-22.1	-34.3 , -10.0	<0.001
	Base covariates	-11.1	-22.1 , 0.0	0.050
	Base covariates + HDL-P	+1.0	-12.6 , +14.6	0.886

Base covariates include: age, SBP, hypertension medication (yes/no), and smoking status (yes/no), alcohol intake, LDL-C, diabetes (yes/no) and HDL-P or HDL-C. 1 standard deviation of HDL-P = 6.7 μmol/l and of HDL-C = 0.45 mmol/l.

cIMT, carotid intima-media thickness; CI, confidence interval.
