Table 5 Logistic (1 = PA, 2 = PIP) regression analysis for ultrasound parameters
ParameterRegression coefficientSignificance
Roughness (mm)35.98<0.001

  • IMT, intima–media thickness; PA, physically active persons; PIP, physically inactive persons.

  • Parameters with significance <0.05 were included in the regression analysis. The model will classify with 70% for the correct category only by use of ultrasound parameters.
