n=2614. The mean of the bifurcation optimal far wall values in millimeters was used for CIMT measurements. Values are given as β coefficients (95% CIs). Model 1, adjusted for age and sex. Model 2, adjusted for age, sex, education level, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, hypertension, total cholesterol, fasting triglycerides, physical activity, and statin use. CIMT indicates carotid intima‐media thickness; and JHS, Jackson Heart Study.
