  1. *Stepwise criteria for selection of variables. cIMT below and above 66th percentile, <0.795 (n=73) and >0.795 (n=41), 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 Odds ratio. Significant differences: p≤0.05 in bold; B2 = minor allele of Taq1B polymorphism.
