  1. a, unadjusted model (n = 612); b, adjusted for age and gender (n = 612); c, fully adjusted model
  2. Fully adjusted mean cIMT model included age, gender, cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and HBA1c (n = 593)
  3. Fully adjusted cIMT ≥75% model included age, gender, cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, heavy alcohol use, and HBA1c (n = 592)
  4. Fully adjusted plaque model included age, gender, cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure (n = 607)
  5. hrs/day is the weighted average of sitting on a typical weekday and weekend day
  6. *, p < 0.05
