The ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABI) predicts cardiovasular disease. To our knowledge, no study has compared manual ABI measurements with an automated electronic oscillometric method in a population sample. We enrolled 946 residents (50.8% women; mean age, 43.5 years) from 8 villages in JingNing County, Zhejiang Province, P.R. China. We computed ABI as the ratio of ankle-to-arm systolic blood pressures from consecutive auscultatory or Doppler measurements at the posterior tibial and brachial arteries. We also used an automated oscillometric technique with simultaneous ankle and arm measurements (Colin VP-1000). Mean ABI values were significantly higher on Doppler than auscultatory measurements (1.15 vs. 1.07; p
