“…Large consumption of foods enriched in vitamins of the B complex and omega-3 fatty acids appears to be negatively associated with VTE, whereas meat intake seems to produce an opposite effect, by increasing the incidence of VTE [67], so that East Asian sea food has been traditionally advocated as protective or even preventive against VTE [68]. Conversely, a short-term high-fat diet is associated with an impaired fibrinolytic response in stress condition [69]. An antiplatelet agent in Chinese foods called ''mo-er'' (black tree fungus) has been associated with a major bleeding tendency [70], and components in certain Chinese herbal drugs may have antiplatelet effects as well [71] that would somehow interfere with clot formation.…”

Venous thromboembolism, including both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is the leading cause of preventable in-hospital mortality. In the inexorable progress towards individualization of risk and personalized medicine, several congenital and acquired risk factors have been identified. However, the influence of some demographical variables, especially ethnicity, age and gender, has largely been under appreciated. Although the incidence of venous thromboembolism varies widely among diverse racial/ethnic cohorts, it appears globally highest in Blacks, is intermediate in Caucasians and is lowest in Asians. The incidence and prevalence of venous thromboembolism is also strongly age-related, increasing nearly 90 fold from <15 to >80 years old. Definitive data on the relative frequency of venous thromboembolism across genders is lacking. Some studies report that gender is not an independent risk factor of venous thromboembolism, while others conclude that female gender might be a protective variable. The purpose of this review is to assess the relationship between such demographic variables and venous thromboembolism.

“…It has long been seen that Chinese people are relatively immune to the development of DVT 7,8 although the exact underlying factors have not been identified. Genetic factors 9– 11 as well as dietary factors 12 have all been postulated to account for the apparently low incidence of DVT reported among Chinese patients. However, several contemporary reports indicate that the incidence of perioperative DVT in Asians is rising and the need for routine prophylaxis has been raised 13–15 .…”

“…After 1993, APC resistance to factor V Leiden was found to be a major cause of TED in the western countries [1][2][3][4][5][6], however, the same phenomenon was not found in the Chinese [7,8]. As the Chinese people are less prone to TED [9][10][11], possibly because of a difference in race, diet or other factors [12][13][14], the causes of venous thrombosis in the Chinese patients might be different from those of the Caucasians. Thus, investigation of the causes of TED is interested and necessary in the Chinese.…”

In a whole year from July 1997 to June 1998, a total of 50 patients with sonogram-proved venous thrombosis who called on our hematology clinic consecutively entered into the study. Their mean age was 59.1 +/- 17.5 years, range 18-83 years, and 29 were male. A series of examinations were performed in order to find out the cause of venous thrombosis. These examinations included antithrombin, protein C, protein S, plasminogen, heparin cofactor II, activated protein C ratio, factor V Leiden mutation, fibrinogen, factors VIII and XII, euglobulin lysis time, 677 C-->T mutation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), prothrombin 20210 (PT 20210) A allele mutation, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibody, and complete blood count. Five patients (10%) were found to have malignancy; an inferior vena cava thrombosis in one patient was due to venous compression by hydronephrosis; two patients had lupus anticoagulant; two had varicose veins of legs; two had protein C deficiency; four had protein S deficiency; two had plasminogen deficiency; two had antithrombin deficiency. No activated protein C resistance, elevated factor VIII level, factor V Leiden, PT 20210 A allele or heparin cofactor II deficiency was found in the present study. Homozygous MTHFR 677 C-->T gene mutation was found in 7 patients (14%); one of them also had a plasminogen deficiency. No possible risk factor of venous thrombosis could be found in 24 patients (48%). In conclusion, malignancy and protein S deficiency were the most frequent acquired and congenital causes of venous thrombosis in the Chinese, respectively.
