The figure shows the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves showing the performance of individual hemodynamic or metabolic factors in identifying individuals with increased carotid IMT in young (age <35 years, A), middle-aged (age 35 to 59 years, B), and older adults (age ≥ 60 years, C). BMI body mass index, cSBP central arterial systolic blood pressure, HR heart rate, Pb backward wave pressure, Tot/HDLchol Total to HDL cholesterol ratio.
