Figure 3. Plots showing the variable importance for each of the 735 variables used in analysis.

Figure 3

The color of the dots represents the category or type of measurement. The legend on the right provides the phenotype category ordered from left-to-right on the individual plots. The variable importance is measured using the minimum depth of the maximal subtree, with lower values representing greater importance of corresponding variable. Abbreviations: NT pro-BNP = N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic peptide, TNF-α SR = tissue necrosis factor- α soluble receptor, IL2 SR = interleukin-2 soluble receptor, CAC = coronary artery calcium score, ABI = ankle-brachial index, IMT = intima media thickness, SBP = systolic blood pressure.
