However, the quantitative criteria and the automated measurement used suggest that such bias, if any, would have little impact on our results.</p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We found no differences in IMT, carotid artery diameter or femoral thickness between the right and left sides. Although these data suggest that by scanning a single region, we would have a "mirror" of the contralateral side, when we evaluate the presence or absence of atheromatous plaque, there is a prevalence of one side (right) at both carotid and femoral levels, which highlights the need to evaluate both sides. With respect to this prevalence (right vs. left), we did not find studies that addressed differences between the two sides.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With regard to the characteristics of the sample, smoking stands out in our study population (31.3%), which seems to be higher than that reported by the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (23.3%), although the survey conducted by this institution may underestimate the total prevalence.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> Although only 10.8% of patients had dyslipidaemia, more than twice as many (23.5%) were found to have global atheromatosis (carotid or femoral) on arterial ultrasound.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among the limitations we highlight the small sample size, making it necessary for our results to be confirmed in other studies. The sample size did not allow us to perform subgroup analyses or to further explore bivariate relationships of the parameters assessed. In addition, we were unable to apply any cardiovascular risk scales, although it should be noted that existing scales appear to underestimate cardiovascular risk in this population and there seems to be a calibration problem, even after adjustment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0105">Ethical considerations</span><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Aragon approved the study (CEICA Reg. # 08/2017).
