  1. Factors included in the stepwise multiple regression models for mean intima-media thickness of common carotid artery (mean-CCA-IMT) were age, gender, duration of diabetes, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), urinary albumin excretion (UAE), total leukocyte count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, eosinophil count and basophil count. Factors included in the stepwise multiple regression models for maximum CCA-IMT (max-CCA-IMT) were age, gender, duration of diabetes, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, baPWV, UAE, total leukocyte count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, leosinophil count and basophil count. Since mean-CCA-IMT, max-CCA-IMT, duration of diabetes, TG, hs-CRP, UAE, monocyte count, eosinophil count and basophil count showed skewed distribution, it was logarithmically transformed before the analysis.
