1969-71年，在耶路撒冷西部的一个社区调查中，对静脉曲张的患病率和相关因素进行了调查。15岁及以上的男性患病率为10%，女性为29%;男女患病率均随年龄增长而上升。在男性和女性中，工作站和出生地都有显著的相关性。在女性中，静脉曲张与体重、穿紧身胸衣和怀孕过有关。在男性中，这与腹股沟疝有关。研究结果支持长期站立和腹内压升高的病因作用。静脉曲张在北非出生的45岁及以上的男性和女性中相对少见。这一发现没有被其他观察到的关联所解释，与移民前经历的可能病因学作用相一致，例如早期生活中形成的行为模式。
The prevalence and correlates of varicose veins were investigated in a community survey in a neighbourhood of western Jerusalem in 1969-71. The prevalence was 10% among men and 29% among women aged 15 and over; it rose with age in each sex. In both sexes, significant associations were found with standing at work and with region of birth. Among women, varicose veins were associated with weight, the wearing of corsets, and having ever been pregnant. Among men, there was an association with inguinal hernia. The findings support the aetiological role of prolonged standing and raised intra-abdominal pressure. Varicose veins were relatively uncommon among North African-born men and women aged 45 and over. This finding, which was not accounted for by the other observed associations, is consistent with the possible aetiological role of experiences before immigration, such as behavioural patterns laid down in early life.
