背景和目的-探讨性别、体型、颈部尺寸与颈总动脉（CCA）和颈内动脉（伊卡）直径之间的关系。方法-使用多变量回归，基于年龄、身高、体重指数、体表面积、颈围、颈长、颈动脉内径结果-在500名连续患者（年龄52 +/-15岁; 61%为女性）中获得测量结果。女性伊卡（4.66 ± 0.78 mm）和CCA（6.10 ± 0.80 mm）的平均直径显著小于男性：分别为5.11 ± 0.87 mm和6.52 ± 0.98 mm。性别显着影响的直径后，控制身体的大小，颈部大小，年龄，和血压。结论-颈动脉较小的女性，即使调整后的身体和颈部大小，年龄，和血压。
Background and Purpose - To explore relationships among gender, body size, neck size, and the diameters of the common carotid artery (CCA) and internal carotid artery (ICA).Methods - Using multivariate regression, the best predictors of sonographic diameters of CCA and ICA were determined based on age, height, weight, body mass index, body surface area, neck circumference, neck length, and blood pressure.Results - Measurements were obtained in 500 consecutive patients ( age 52 +/- 15 years; 61% women). Mean diameters of ICA (4.66 +/- 0.78 mm) and CCA ( 6.10 +/- 0.80 mm) in women were significantly smaller than in men: 5.11 +/- 0.87 mm and 6.52 +/- 0.98 mm, respectively. Sex significantly influenced the diameters after controlling for body size, neck size, age, and blood pressure.Conclusions - Carotid arteries are smaller in women even after adjusting for body and neck size, age, and blood pressure.
