Impact of Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Degree of Severity: A Cross-Sectional Study
Fig 2
The relation between cIMT and CVRFs.
A shows the cIMT by the age. Box 1: age 40–50 years; Box 2: age 50–60 years; Box 3: age 60–70 years; Box 4: >70 years. B demonstrates the cIMT by the types of chronic disease. Box 1:hypertension; Box 2: dyslipidemia; Box 3: diabetes. C shows the cIMT by the number of chronic cardiovascular diseases. Box 0:without chronic cardiovascular disease; Box 1:1 type of chroinc cardiovascular disease; Box 2: 2 types of chronic cardiovascular diseases; Box 3:3 types of chronic cardiovascular diseases. D shows the cIMT by two different chronic cardiovascular diseases. Box 1: Combination of hypertension with diabetes; Box 2: combination of dyslipidemia with diabetes; Box 3: combination of hypertension with dyslipidemia.
