Logistic regression analysis using different prediction models of the association between subclinical atherogenesis (carotid intima-media thickness ≥ 1 mm) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness in patients > 18 years of age with coronary artery disease, or non-ischemic patients who displayed a variable number of cardiovascular risk factors, and in whom heart disease was suspected.

Prediction model	OR	95% CI	Statistical significance
Model 1. EAT	4.08	0.86, 19.37	NS
Model 2. EAT + Type 2 diabetes mellitus	9.90	0.96, 102.07	NS
Model 3. EAT + MDA	4.98	0.95, 26.22	NS
Model 4. EAT + Type 2 diabetes mellitus + MDA	11.55	1.03, 129.84	P = 0.048

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; MDA, malondialdehyde.

NS, no statistically significant association (P > 0.05).
