Background and Purpose-Few studies have examined whether there is a relationship between carotid arterial diameter and cardiovascular risk factors in a large general population. The aim of this study was to investigate cross-sectionally whether, in a randomly selected general large population of a Japanese city, there is a relationship between common carotid artery (CCA) diameter and conventional cardiovascular risk factors.Methods-The subjects of the present study were randomly selected from the residents of the city of Suita, located in the second largest urban area of Japan, and consisted of 2284 men and 2568 women aged 30 to 89 years. The outer and inner CCA diameters and intima-media thickness (IMT) of CCA were detected and measured by a single physician with high-resolution ultrasonography. We assessed cross-sectionally by age/sex group the relationships between IMT or CCA diameters and cardiovascular risk factors, especially blood pressure levels divided into 3 groups: the normal group of subjects had a diastolic blood pressure (DBP)
