  1. * rho - correlation coefficient (strength of correlation ranges form 0 to 1; 0 = no correlation); statistically significant p < 0.05; highly significant p < 0.005 (2-tailed). Note: Spearman's test measures the strength of correlations between calcium scores (in the heading) and other risk factors (listed in the first column) in the FDRs cohort; Carotid Ultrasound Indexes: AvgIMT = average intima-media thickness; TPArea = total plaque area; AvgTThick = average total thickness; TArea = total area; PlaqueNo = number of plaques.
