Figure 2 Bifurcational Carotid Artery IMT by IL-5 Quartiles

Bifurcational carotid artery IMT by IL-5 quartiles among the whole study group (N = 1,011) before and after adjustments. Analyses were performed on the near-wall measurements (A, B), far-wall measurements (C, D), and mean IMT (E, F). Adjustments were made for age, gender, smoking, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and body mass index. The data shown is mean (standard error of the mean). IMT = intima-media thickness; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
