IMT intima media thickness, TOD target organ damage, DQI diet quality index, OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval
- It was considered as carotid TOD if exists a plaque or a carotid IMT >0.9 mm. Presence of a plaque was identified by an IMT ≥1.5 mm or by a focal increase in thickness of 0.5 mm or 50% of the surrounding carotid IMT value
- p: statistically significant differences (p < 0.05)
- Model 1: No adjustment
- Model 2: Adjusted for age and sex
- Model 3: Adjusted for age, sex, level of education, smoking, physical activity, antihypertensive, antidiabetics and lipid lowering drugs
- Dependent variables IMT (IMT < 0.9 mm = 0; IMT > 0.9 mm = 1); Plaque (No = 0, Yes = 1), Carotid TOD (No = 0, Yes = 1)
- Independent variable: DQI two categories (DQI < 40 = 1; DQI ≥ 40 = 0)
