Determinants of carotid IMT and carotid plaque

IMT^a		Coefficient	SE	partial R₂	P value
	Age	0.006	0.002	0.076	<0.0001
	Waist circumference	0.005	0.001	0.079	<0.0001
	Brachial SBP^b	0.002	0.001	0.028	0.031
	Adjusted R₂			0.206
PLAQUE		OR	95% CL		P value
	Age	1.091	1.018	1.168	0.013
	Active or past smoking	2.245	1.096	4.598	0.027

^aIMT: Intima-media Thickness; SBPb: Systolic Blood Pressure.
Variables in the selection models were age, gender, brachial SBP, brachial DBP, diabetes, smoking status, waist circumference, 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, protease inhibitor treatment, nadir CD4 count, current CD4 count
