Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) has been widely used as a marker of early subclinical atherosclerosis. The determinants of cystatin C, a novel marker of renal function, have not been extensively studied in the Asian population. This study aimed to assess the determinants of cystatin C and explore whether carotid thickening was associated with urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and cystatin C in community-living Taiwanese adults.enAlbumin-to-creatinine ratio; Creatinine; Cystatin C; Intima-media thickness[SDGs]SDG3journal article10.1186/s12882-020-02123-x331293122-s2.0-85094649674https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85094649674
