A-CIMT: average between left and right common carotid intima media thickness values. BMI: body mass index. SBP and DBP: systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. MV: mean value. SD: standard deviation. SE: standard error. CI: confidence interval. was considered statistically significant.
