Figure 2 Forrest plot describing the risk for progression of carotid atherosclerosis by duplex ultrasound from baseline to follow-up after median 7.5 months (interquartile range 6 to 9 months) calculated by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Models adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, family history of atherosclerotic disease, hypertension, current smoking, glycated hemoglobin A1, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum creatinine, history of myocardial infarction, history of stroke, stain therapy, and baseline degree of carotid atherosclerosis. CI = confidence interval; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; MPO = myeloperoxidase.
