Prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and factors associated: An epidemiological analysis from the population-based Screening PRE-diabetes and type 2 DIAbetes (SPREDIA-2) study

Abstract: AimTo describe the prevalence of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in a random population sample and to evaluate its relationship with Mediterranean diet and with other potential cardiovascular risk factors such as serum uric acid and pulse pressure in individuals ranged 45 to 74 years.MethodsCross-sectional analysis of 1568 subjects (mean age 6.5 years, 43% males), randomly selected from the population. A fasting blood sample was obtained to determine glucose, lipids, and HbA1C levels. An oral glucose tolerance… Show more

“…The possible risk factors for diabetes-related lower limb amputations, as reported in previous studies, include age, sex, educational attainment, renal function, hypertension, heart disease, duration of diabetes, micro- and macrocomplications of diabetes, and glycemic control. [ 27 29 ] It is widely known that peripheral arterial disease is an important risk factor for amputation, and the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease was significantly higher in men than in women, [ 30 , 31 ] and this may be one of the reasons why the male sex is associated with a higher risk of lower limb amputations. Many factors influence the decision of whether or not to remove a limb including disease severity, comorbidities, social and individual patient factors, quality of primary care, and prevailing medical opinion.…”

“…Um ITB com valores > 1,30 é peculiar quando associado arigidez da parede vascular (3) . Foram detectados trabalhadores de enfermagem com essa característica, e esta pode estar relacionada a uma calcificação da camada média das artérias, com possibilidade de torná-las não compressíveis (1) .…”

“…A medida do índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB) é um recurso eficaz, simples, não invasivo, de baixo custo e fácil realização, capaz de detectar a doença arterial obstrutiva crônica (DAOP), com ou sem sintomatologia, e o processo aterosclerótico (1)(2)(3) . O ITB representa a razão entre o maior valor da pressão arterial sistólica do tornozelo das artérias pediosa e tibial posterior e a medida das artérias braquiais.…”
