a to d Prevalence and Distribution of Atherosclerotic Plaque in different vascular sites (in each single or combined vascular site) by ultrasonography, comparing male with female. Vascular sites examined were the right and left carotids and subclavian artery, the abdominal aorta, and the right and left lower extremities arteries (presence of plaque). a The distribution of the number of plaque site detected by vascular ultrasound, including presence of plaque in 0,1,2,3 of carotid artery, abdominal aorta, femoral artery, comparing male with female. b The distribution of plaque site in only one of carotid artery, femoral artery and abdominal aorta detected by vascular ultrasound, comparing male with female. c The distribution of plaque site in two of carotid artery, femoral artery and abdominal aorta detected by vascular ultrasound, comparing male with female. d The individual distribution of anyone territory plaque in carotid artery, femoral artery and abdominal aorta detected by vascular ultrasound, comparing male with female
