Table 4:

Age-, Race-, and Sex-Adjusted Differences in CCA Wall Thickness Measured by Using US and MRI Associated with Each Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Note.—Data are standardized intima-media thickness (IMT) and MRI wall thickness measurements (with mean of 0 and standard deviation [SD] of 1). CCA = common carotid artery, GDWT = wall thickness measured with gadolinium-enhanced MRI, HDL = high-density lipoprotein, PDWT = wall thickness measured with proton-density–weighted MRI.

^*P values were obtained from seemingly unrelated regression comparing the difference in IMT associated with each cardiovascular risk factor versus the difference in MRI wall thickness associated with each cardiovascular risk factor.

^†P < .001.

^‡P < .05.

^§P < .01.
