Far wall mean IMT, mm | 1365 | 0.08 | 0.02 | 1183 | 0.11 | 0.004 | 182 | −0.01 | 0.88 |
Far wall maximum IMT, mm | 1365 | 0.04 | 0.05 | 1183 | 0.05 | 0.04 | 182 | 0.01 | 0.80 |
Carotid artery distensibility, % | 1249 | 0.27 | <0.001 | 1101 | 0.29 | <0.001 | 148 | 0.08 | 0.48 |

Non-biological caregivers were excluded from these analyses (n=13). Covariates in adjusted linear regression models include parent and child age, parent and child height, child lumen diameter (for carotid IMT only), Disadvantage Index and child sex.
Disadvantage Index: the Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage.
N: number of participants in cohort with this measure.
CC, correlation coefficient; ERC, estimated regression coefficient; IMT, intima–media thickness.
