Sex differences in the association between cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery calcification progression among individuals without coronary artery calcium
Systolic BP in women and BMI (and/or waist circumference) in men may have different contributions to CAC progression between the sexes among participants with CAC = 0. Our study provides evidence that understanding sex differences in cardiovascular risk factors is essential for implementing targeted interventions to prevent CAC progression.
