Multivariable associations between vasomotor symptom (VMS) trajectories and IMT

	Mean IMT		Maximum IMT
	β(SE)	P	β(SE)	P
Model 1
VMS trajectory
Consistently low	------		-----
Early onset	.04(.01)	.004	.05(.01)	.0006
Late onset	−.01(.01)	.50	−.01(.01)	.50
Consistently high	.01(.01)	.30	.02(.01)	.20
Model 2
VMS trajectory
Consistently low	------		-----
Early onset	.03(.01)	.03	.04(.01)	.008
Late onset	−.002(.01)	.90	−.001(.01)	.90
Consistently high	−.001(.01)	.90	.002(.01)	.90

Model 1 covariates: site, age, ethnicity, education

Model 2 covariates: Adjusted for site, age, ethnicity, education, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, high density lipoproteins; low density lipoproteins, triglycerides, homeostatic model assessment, smoking status, diabetes, anxiety, use of cardiovascular medications

IMT = intima media thickness; VMS=vasomotor symptoms
