Table 2 Associations of IMT and plaque with clinical rating scale performances

	Model	TUG test^* β (p)	Adjusted R²	Tinetti test^* β (p)	Adjusted R²
IMT	Model 1	0.153 (< 0.001)	0.036	-0.026 (0.531)	-0.001
IMT	Model 2	0.129 (0.010)	0.045	-0.007 (0.891)	0.018
Plaque	Model 1	0.101 (0.244)	0.020	0.018 (0.835)	-0.002
Plaque	Model 2	0.074 (0.418)	0.030	0.019 (0.841)	0.014

Note Standardized regression coefficients (β) and p values from linear regression models are presented. Differences significant at p < 0.05 are highlighted in bold. Model 1 was adjusted for sex and age; Model 2 was further adjusted for BMI, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity
*For skewed variables the logarithm is presented
