Common carotid intima-media thickness

1. Lifestyle intervention decreases common carotid intima-media thickness in humans (-0.023 mm vs 0.041 mm, p = 0.004).

   “in a subgroup analysis with participants with high baseline mean ccIMT (≥0.800 mm) a significant difference in mean ccIMT change between intervention (-0.023 [95% CI -0.052, 0.007] mm; n = 22; baseline mean ccIMT: 0.884 ± 0.015 mm) and control (0.041 [95% CI 0.009, 0.073] mm; n = 13; baseline mean ccIMT: 0.881 ± 0.022 mm) was observed (p = 0.004).”

2. Lifestyle intervention has no effect on common carotid intima-media thickness in humans (p = 0.708).

   “With all participants included, no significant difference in mean ccIMT change between groups was observed (p = 0.708).”
