目的高踝臂指数(ABI)的临床意义仍存在争议。动脉粥样硬化性血管改变的参与以及与体重的密切正相关已被假设。我们评估了高ABI与动脉粥样硬化和人体测量学参数之间的可能联系。方法研究参与者为407名社区居民(68+/-8岁)。通过动脉脉搏波速度、颈动脉肥厚和相关的血浆标志物来评估动脉粥样硬化。结果高ABI个体(~gt；=1.3)的发生率为6.6%，男性高于男性(70.4%vs.37.4%，P
Objective Clinical implications of a high ankle-brachial index (ABI) remain controversial. The involvement of atherosclerotic vascular changes as well as a close positive association with body weight has been postulated. We evaluated possible associations between a high ABI and atherosclerotic and anthropometric parameters.Methods Study participants were 407 community residents (68 +/- 8 years). Atherosclerosis was evaluated by arterial pulse wave velocity, carotid hypertrophy, and related plasma markers. Composition of the body trunk and lower extremity was evaluated by computed tomography.Results The frequency of high ABI individuals (>= 1.3) was 6.6%, and that was higher in men (70.4 vs. 37.4%, P
