Provides age- and sex-specific reference intervals for CCIMT measured by echotracking to aid in interpreting IMT values across different cardiovascular risk profiles.
We estimated age- and sex-specific percentiles of CCIMT in a healthy population and assessed the association of CV-RFs with CCIMT Z-scores, which enables comparison of IMT values for (patient) groups with different cardiovascular risk profiles, helping interpretation of such measures obtained both in research and clinical settings.
