Fig. 1From: Early insulin resistance in normoglycemic low-risk individuals is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis3-dimensional vascular ultrasound and computed tomography images exemplifying the study findings. (A) Visual example illustrating imaging findings in a participant with HOMA-IR < 2 (reference group), depicting the absence of subclinical atherosclerosis affecting vascular sites. (B) Visual example illustrating imaging findings in a participant with HOMA-IR ≥ 3 (category with the highest HOMA-IR values), revealing a multiterritorial extent of subclinical atherosclerosis in the carotid and femoral arteries and an elevated coronary artery calcium score.
