TABLE 3.

Carotid measures for parous vs. nulliparous women. Regression coefficients represent change from a baseline parity of 0.

Inter-adventitial Diameter	−.230 (.077)	.0032	−.185 (.074)	.0139	-	-
Average CCA IMT	−.031 (.011)	.0067	−.029 (.011)	.0086	−.019 (.010)	.0695
Maximum CCA IMT	−.039 (.014)	.0050	−.038 (.013)	.0039	−.029 (.013)	.0255

Model 1 represents the simultaneous effects of parity, age, race, BMI, education, current smoking, use of alcohol, average systolic blood pressure, and fasting glucose level on the carotid measures.

Model 1 with inter-adventitial diameter.

P values represent significance of regression coefficient for parity.
