Increased aortic
intima-media thickness: a marker of preclinical atherosclerosis in high-risk children.
Long-term physical activity was only marginally significantly associated with common carotid artery
intima-media thickness, but this was not significant after adjustment for physiological risk factors.
Androgen excess is associated with the increased carotid
intima-media thickness observed in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Insulin resistance can impair reduction on carotid

The main finding of the present study was a significant difference in the
intima-media thickness of the left carotid, which was 0.17 mm thicker in carriers of the rs495366 A allele compared with carriers of the GG genotype.

Common carotid artery
intima-media thickness was measured proximal to the 1cm of bifurcation of CCA.
While carotid
intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis can reflect carotid atherosclerosis in different stages, this review aimed to explore researches on the role of carotid
intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis in the progress of cognitive impairment in nonstroke patients and tried to illustrate the possible mechanisms.
