  • Dependent variable, difference in matched pairs for mean common carotid artery IMT.

  • Independent variables, difference in matched pairs for each of the variable.

  • The mean value of combined sides was used for carotid IMT.

  • Apo, apolipoprotein; IMT, intima-media thickness; Lp(a): lipoprotein(a).
