Abstract

Peripheral vascular disease as measured by the ankle/brachial blood pressure index (ABI) is associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Few sources of data on the relationship of risk factors to ABI are available for the elderly, especially those > 80 years of age, and minority populations. ABI measurements from the Honolulu Heart Program's fourth reexamination of 3450 ambulatory, elderly Japanese American men indicate that the prevalence of an abnormal ABI, defined as a ratio of < 0.9, was 13.6%, increasing from 8.0% in those 71 to 74 years of age to 27.4% in those 85 to 93 years. Associations that were U or J shaped were present for a number or risk factors (higher rates of abnormality [ABI < 0.9] in those in the lowest and highest risk factor quintiles) in a cross-sectional analysis. Risk factors measured at baseline were also predictive of an abnormal ABI 25 years later, even after adjustment for multiple risk factors. The odds ratio (OR) for an ABI < 0.9 at the 80th percentile of cholesterol compared with that at the 20th percentile was 1.4; the OR for 1-hour postload glucose was 1.3, and for alcohol intake 1.2. The OR associated with hypertension was 1.8 and that for smoking, 2.9 (P < .05 for all ORs). Thes...Continue Reading
