  1. Data presented as p-values, sorted by carotid segment, age group, and sex. Statistical significance presented in boldface. CCA = Common carotid artery; BIF = Carotid bifurcation; ICA = Internal carotid artery. Boldface represents statistical significant differences between patients and controls, mainly within the total population and among middle-aged participants, and as well among the young population and females in the ICA segment.
