背景-我们报告了无症状下肢外周动脉疾病（PAD）对女性健康与老龄化研究参与者下肢功能的影响，该研究是一项对年龄大于或等于65岁的残疾女性的观察性研究，居住在巴尔的摩及其周围地区。方法和结果-踝臂指数（ABI）和测量研究参与者的上肢和下肢功能。在933名ABI小于或等于1.50的女性中，328名（35%）患有ABI
Background-We report the implications of asymptomatic lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) for lower extremity functioning among participants in the Women's Health and Aging Study, an observational study of disabled women greater than or equal to 65 years of age living in and around Baltimore.Methods and Results-The ankle brachial index (ABI) and measures of upper and lower extremity functioning were measured among study participants. Of 933 women with ABI less than or equal to 1.50, 328 (35%) had an ABI
