BM 1, base model for participants with complete cIMT data; BM 2, base model for participants with complete carotid plaque data; BM 3, base model for participants with complete cIMT and carotid plaque data; BM 4, base model for participants with complete DC data; BM 4a, base model (excluding height, weight, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure) for participants with complete DC data. ARIC indicates Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities; CHARGE, Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology; cIMT, carotid intima‐media thickness.
