Abstract
APOE-ε4 carriers had elevated cIMT independent of demographics and vascular risk factors including LDL levels. Diabetes was an effect modifier of the relationship between APOE-ε4 and IMT, such that ε4 carriers with diabetes had greater IMT in the CCA and ICA than those without diabetes. The APOE-IMT relationship was not modified by race-ethnicity.
