Echocardiographic findings and carotid intima-media thickness measurements of the study subjects stratified according to fibrosis risk score.

Data are means ± SD. Categorical variables were compared by χ2 test. P values refer to results after analyses with adjustment for gender, age smoking history, waist circumference, blood pressure, HDL, triglycerides, and fasting glucose values.
cIMT = carotid artery intima-media thickness; LVMI = left ventricular mass index; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy.
aP<0.05 vs. Low risk of fibrosis group.
