The maximum intimal-medial thickness (Max-IMT) of the carotid artery wall (Max-IMT) was measured by ultrasonography in 1,932 people checked in the brain health examination program in our hospital. We studied relationship Max-IMT and age, systolic blood pressure, presence of asymptomatic cerebral infarction. Five hundreds seventy-two people (29.9%) had atherosclerotic thickness of Max-IMT that was more than 1.1 mm. Normal Max-IMT that less than 1.0 mm was observed in 1,360 people (70.1%). Moreover, it was likely that Max-IMT became thick as age and systolic blood pressure increased. A presence of asymptomatic cerebral infarction on MRI were related to increase of Max-IMT compared with people without asymptomatic cerebral infarction. The present finding and reports suggest that Max-IMT is significant medical information in the brain health examination programs and is useful indicator of the risk of systemic atherosclerotic disease especially stroke.
