Studies on cardiovascular disease have preferentially involved men because of the lower frequency of the disease in preelderly women. The aim of this analysis was to examine, with the use of a standardized ultrasound protocol, a cohort of women to differentiate early atherosclerotic lesions in different carotid segments in relation to traditional (lipoprotein abnormalities, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking) and nontraditional (oxidation markers) cardiovascular risk factors.
