Figure 2. Associations between lean- and fat mass index and carotid IMT (cIMT) (A) and carotid distensibility coefficient (cDC) (B), carotid-femoral PWV (C) and carotid-radial PWV (D).

Figure 2

Values are marginal means from a linear regression model including an interaction term between fat mass index and lean mass index, adjusted for confounders. Lean mass index was fixed at 11.4, 11.9, 12.4 and 13.1 kg/m2 and fat mass index was fixed at 2.9, 3.7, 4.6 and 5.8. These cut-off points are quintiles (i.e. values that divide the range of data into five equal parts).
