Individuals were stratified based on LVMI and the presence of CAC, and intergroup differences in risk factors were analysed. Logistic regression models were used to assess the interaction of BP and LVMI on prevalent CAC.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The study included 880 subjects (mean age 45.8\u00b111.7 years, 51.4% women). Individuals with high LVMI had higher BP than those with normal LVMI. Across all LVMI groups, higher BP was associated with the presence of CAC. Compared with individuals with normotensive BP and normal LVMI, those with normotensive BP and high LVMI had no increased risk of prevalent CAC (p=0.530); however, risk was progressively higher in those with hypertensive BP and normal LVMI (risk ratio (RR) 1.47, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.91), or hypertensive BP and high LVMI (RR 1.72, 95% CI 1.26 to 2.36).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this healthy asymptomatic population, hypertension was the strongest risk factor for high LVMI and prevalent CAC.
