Estimates are per 1-SD for relative wall thickness (SD=0.0634).

Model 0: Relative wall thickness alone.

Model 1: Relative wall thickness and sex stratified by age.

Model 2: Model 1+antihypertensive medication use.

Model 3: Model 2+body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and total/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio.
