“…Cessation of smoking in patients with PAD could substantially reduce the risk of death, myocardial infarction, and amputation and increase the patency rate of lower-extremity angioplasty and surgical revascularization [25]. Two recent studies revealed that central obesity with elevated BMI was positively associated with ABI increase [34, 35]. However, the relationship between BMI and PAD could not be identified from our study.…”

“…Several studies have shown a significant relationship between obesity, as assessed using BMI, and the risk of peripheral artery disease [33]. Vasheghani-Farahani et al reported significant upward correlations between ABI and anthropometric indices including BW, WC, WHtR and BMI among premenopausal women aged 25 to 55 years [34]. In addition, Yeboah et al reported that BMI and WC were higher in Ghanaian patients with peripheral artery disease [35].…”

“…In the present study women in the low quartiles of MedD Score had a greater BMI and a greater waist circumference compared to women in the highest quartile of MedD Score and showed a lower values of ABI. The relationship between obesity and MedD diet has been previously described as well as the association between obesity and pre-clinical PAD [17,18].…”
