Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the correlations between muscular strength and cIMT, with the following adjustments for Model 1: age, sex, smoking, alcohol intake, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and serum triglycerides; β* denotes standardized β. Abbreviations: cIMT, left carotid bulb intima–media thickness.
