All covariates taken from baseline (Exam 1).

*

Numerators and denominators include only those subjects who have all observed variables.

Log (CAC+1): CAC was log-transformed after adding 1 (due to values of 0 CAC score) for the continuous models.

Model 1: adjusted for age, gender and race/ ethnicity;

Model 2: variables in Model 1 plus systolic blood pressure, hypertension medication, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, lipid medication, smoking status, diabetes, GFR, household income>$50k;

Model 3: variables in Model 2 plus BMI, LV mass, LV end-diastolic volume, LV ejection fraction;

Model 4: variables in model 3 plus average of left and right distal mean common carotid artery intimal media thickness
