Legend: ABI ankle brachial index, BP blood pressure, CCA common carotid artery, IMT intima media thickness, MAU microalbuminuria, RR relative, * For multivariable adjustment of ORs, variables being significantly different at baseline (see Table 1 with a p-value < 0.05) were considered: age, body mass index, diabetes, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, total and HDL-cholesterol, the use of ACEi/ARBs, calciumantagonists and differences in the functional status as well as stroke subtype (TOAST), coronary artery disease and symptomatic peripheral artery disease as outlined in the methods section.
