Estimates are per 1-SD for relative wall thickness (SD=0.0634).
Model 0: Relative wall thickness alone.
Model 1: Relative wall thickness and sex stratified by age.
Model 2: Model 1+antihypertensive medication use.
Model 3: Model 2+body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and total/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio.
