CAC prevalence was higher in men than women (55% versus 41%; P�0.0001), although there was no sex difference Conclusions—CAC and AC have similar risk factors, except male gender is associated only with CAC and age is more Key Words: aging � aorta � atherosclerosis � coronary disease � epidemiology � genetics � imaging Noninvasive imaging of coronary artery calcification (CAC) can be used to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially in intermediate-risk Ageand sex-adjusted associations of each risk factor with CAC and a multivariate analysis in which all risk factors significantly associated with CAC or AC in the ageand	./cache/work_lprjiasxlfcr3dumcuhn3hwkfi.pdf	./txt/work_lprjiasxlfcr3dumcuhn3hwkfi.txt
