Figure 2.

Subclinical atherosclerosis assessed by 2D-vascular ultrasound and noncontrast cardiac computed tomography (CCT) in all participants (observed outcomes). Percentages of outcomes within each body size phenotype. Number of plaques (panel A) was assessed using two-dimensional vascular ultrasound, whereas coronary artery calcium score (panel B) was obtained by noncontrast CCT. The multi-territorial extent (panel C) was defined by the combination of both imaging techniques and classified subjects as disease-free (0 vascular sites affected) or having focal (1 site), intermediate (2 to 3 sites), or generalized atherosclerosis (4 to 6 sites) (10). Abbreviations: M.H., metabolically healthy; M.U., metabolically unhealthy.
