Associations of multivariable risk clusters (including information from the following risk factors: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), waist circumference, HbA1c, and LDL-C) with CMR-traits of cardiac structure and function (N = 349). Displayed are predicted mean values for the CMR traits, stratified by multivariable risk cluster (representing low, medium and high cumulative risk factor exposure). The analyses were adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, antihypertensive medication, lipid-lowering medication and glucose-lowering medication measured at Exam 3 (contemporaneous with the CMR examination). The lines connecting the dots from low to medium and high are for visual aid only. (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05, reference = low-level cluster). LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle
