Adjusted for age, sex, educational status, and socio-economic status adjusted for in the combined population while age, educational status, and socio-economic status adjusted for in the sex stratified analyses. Effect is represented by β-coefficients and is a change in mean CIMT (in μm) with each unit increase in the CVHI components. CVHI cardiovascular heath index
