Association of 48-months changes in CIMT with baseline and 48-months changes in heart fat depots
| Unadjusted model | Fully adjusted model | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| β (95% CI)a | P-value | β (95% CI)a | P-value | |
| Baseline heart fat depots | ||||
| EAT | 3.01(−0.94, 6.97) | 0.14 | 2.37 (−2.24, 6.97) | 0.31 |
| PAT | 3.47 (−0.49, 7.44) | 0.09 | 2.37 (−2.40, 7.14) | 0.33 |
| 48-months Δ heart fat depots | ||||
| Δ EAT | −2.56 (−6.51,1.40) | 0.21 | −1.71 (−5.82,2.40) | 0.41 |
| Δ PAT | −3.59 (−7.56,0.37) | 0.08 | −2.95 (−7.15,1.25) | 0.17 |
Estimates are per 1 SD increase in heart fat depot (SD for baseline EAT=26.78 cm3; EAT change=15.47 cm3; for baseline PAT=12.47 cm3; PAT change=7.79 cm3)
