HOMA-IR categories and plaque volume measured by 3-dimensional vascular ultrasound (3DVUS). (A) Global plaque volume of subclinical atherosclerosis (no disease vs. volume in tertiles) assessed by 3DVUS and stratified by HOMA-IR category. (B, C) The presence of carotid and femoral plaque was assessed by 3DVUS (plaque volume > 0 mm3) and stratified by the HOMA-IR category. *Indicates statistically significant differences as compared to the lowest HOMA-IR category (HOMA-IR < 2, reference group)
