Kaplan-Meier analysis comparing the risk of the primary endpoint between all six CAC groups. Significant differences noted between the groups (p < 0.001, log rank test). Censoring at lost to follow-up and non-vascular death. CAC: Carotid artery calcification (detected on panoramic radiographs). USS: Unilateral single/spread. BSS: Bilateral single/spread. UVO: Unilateral vessel-outlining. VO & SS: Bilateral CAC, of which one vessel-outlined and one single/spread. BVO: Bilateral vessel-outlining
