Background The ankle/brachial systolic blood pressure index (ABI), a noninvasive measure of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), is widely used in epidemiological studies. However, the normal ranges of the ABI in healthy populations and ABI criteria for the diagnosis of PAD in large population studies have not been critically evaluated.Methods and Results The San Luis Valley Diabetes Study (SLVDS) was designed to evaluate the prevalence and complications of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in a biethnic population. The present study was conducted as part of the SLVDS to assess the prevalence of vascular disease in 1280 nondiabetic control subjects and 430 patients with NIDDM. The ABI criteria for PAD were developed in 403 healthy individuals with a low risk for cardiovascular disease. In these low-risk subjects, the average resting ABI value was 0.07 lower in women than in men. In both sexes, the dorsalis pedis ABI was 0.04 lower than in the posterior tibial artery, and the left leg ABI was 0.02 lower than the right leg ABI (all differences, P
