Multiple linear regression analyses for IMT, FMD, and LVMi as dependent variables in models of traditional atherosclerosis risk factors (Model 1) and extended model with the conjunction with the inflammatory markers (Model 2), SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, and HOMA: insulin resistance index.
