Carotid B-mode ultrasound of a study participant showing reference points for measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness at three different segments, including: 1) near wall and far wall of the segment extending from 10 to 20 mm proximal to the tip of the flow divider into the common carotid artery (CCA), 2) near wall and far wall of the carotid bifurcation, and 3) near wall and far wall of the proximal 10 mm of the internal carotid artery (ICA).

5. Fig. 4
Predictive margins of the median values of the carotid intima-media thickness according to quartiles of neck circumference. As the neck circumference increases, the carotid intima-media thickness also increases, with a higher significance (no overlapping 95% confidence intervals) among individuals in the 3rd quartile of neck circumference when compared to those in the 1st quartile.
