Interaction analysis of potential effect modifiers for the association between cSBP and rate of mean cIMT change. Adjusted for, if not stratified by, sex, age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, dyslipidemia, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and antidiabetes drugs, current smoking, serum creatinine, and baseline cIMT; cSBP central systolic blood pressure (mmHg), cIMT carotid intima-media thickness; rate of cIMT change: (cIMT (follow-up) – cIMT (baseline)) / cIMT (baseline) × 100%
