Text: Participants who exhibited carotid VWV regression (mean decrease, -128. 0 mm (3) ; 95 % confidence interval, -148. 1 to -107. 9 mm (3)) compared with participants who exhibited progression (mean increase, +89. 6 mm (3) ; 95 % confidence interval, +66. 6 to +112. 6 mm (3)) had achieved greater weight loss (-5. 3 versus -3. 2 kg ; P = 0. 03), greater decreases in systolic blood pressure (-6. 8 versus -1. 1 mm Hg ; P = 0. 009) and total homocysteine (-0. 06 versus +1. 44 mumol/L ; P = 0. 04), and a higher increase of apolipoprotein A1 (+0. 05 versus -0. 00 g/L ; P = 0. 06).
