UNASSIGNED: @entity8 pose a growing epidemiological and health problem worldwide. @entity65 are the leading cause of @entity204 among @entity1 with @entity740 . Increased risk of @entity731 in these @entity1 results from the occurrence of traditional and non-traditional risk factors. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between selected risk factors for @entity65 (age, sex, @entity2299 , @entity101 , etc.), intima-media thickness and coronary artery @entity460 score in @entity1 with @entity740 stages 2, 3 and 4. This study included 60 @entity1 with @entity740 divided into 3 groups on the basis of disease stage and control group consisting of 20 individuals without diagnosed @entity740 and @entity65 . Blood analysis and blood pressure measurements were taken. All @entity1 underwent carotid artery ultrasound with the assessment of the intima-media thickness, and heart CT scan in order to assess the index of @entity729 . Logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant correlation between blood vessels @entity730 and age-the increase in age by 1  year was associated with the increase in the risk of @entity729 by 6.7  %. The increase in IMT by about 0.1  mm raises the risk of @entity730 by about 2  %. Second logistic regression model revealed that one-year increase in age was associated with an increase in the risk of intima-media thickening by 6.5  %. Occurrence of @entity101 was associated with a ninefold increase in intima-media thickening risk in comparison with @entity1 with normal blood pressure. To sum up, age and @entity101 were associated with the growth of IMT in CKD @entity1 , while age and exposure to @entity286 smoke were associated with the increase in coronary artery @entity460 score. The relationship between thickening of IMT and the increase in @entity730 index in @entity1 was also observed in study group.
