  1. cIMT below and above the 66th percentile, <0.795 (n=76) and >0.795 (n=42), respectively. (ref).=reference level. (cont).= continue variable. OR= Odds ratio for higher cIMT, above the 66th percentile value (0.795 mm), CI 95% OR= Confidence interval of 95% for the Odds ratio. Significant differences: p≤0.05 in bold; B2 = minor allele of Taq1B polymorphism, V = minor allele of I405V polymorphism, HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, BMI: body mass index, SBP: systolic blood pressure.
