Abstract
Results: The prevalence of carotid stenosis was 63.2% of all 669 participants. The mean value of GI/GL was 49.3/137. Spearman test did not detect significant relationships between GI/GL and CVD risk factors. In multivariable regression models, GI (4th vs. 1st quartile, OR=2.11; 95% CI, 1.30–3.42) and GL (4th vs. 1st quartile, OR=1.82; 95% CI, 1.12–2.96) were observed a significant association with carotid stenosis after adjustment for major confounding factors. The association between GL and carotid stenosis became more pronounced among yo ungers (4th vs. 1st quartile, OR=2.42; 95% CI, 1.13–4.76) and women (4th vs. 1st quartile, OR=3.81; 95% CI, 1.45–5.05).
