659 valid observations (31 deleted due to missingness). Dependent variable: Framingham Risk Score (continuous). Independent variables: BMI (continuous, kg/m²), Intima-media thickness (continuous, mm), Present carotid plaques (not present (reference) versus present), Present diabetes mellitus (not present (reference) versus present), Logarithmic monocyte count (continuous, 10⁹ cells/L).
