Fig. 4 — Adjusted coronary heart disease incidence rate per 1000 person years adjusted by CIMT categories with and without plaque. For every carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) category (i.e., <25th percentile, 25th to 75th percentile, and >75th percentile), for the overall group (green bars), men (yellow bars), or women (orange bars), having carotid artery plaque is associated with a higher incidence of coronary heart disease.
