OBJECTIVES
to investigate the prevalence of intermittent claudication (IC) in an unselected population of nearly 20000 individuals between 40 and 69 years of age.
DESIGN
epidemiologic investigation of residents in Nord-Trøndelag County, Norway.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
between 1995 and 1997, all residents 20 years of age or older in Nord-Trøndelag County, Norway, were invited to attend the HUNT Study. A total of 19748 participants between 40 and 69 years of age responded to questions related to the symptoms of intermittent claudication. We estimated the prevalence of IC based on these questions.
RESULTS
the age-adjusted prevalence of intermittent claudication in the total population was 1.1% for men and 1.2% for women. We found an increase in the prevalence of IC by age, however, no sex differences were observed.
CONCLUSION
the prevalence of intermittent claudication increased gradually by age. However, in contrast to previous reports, there was no difference by sex.
目的
调查近20000名年龄在40至69岁之间未经过筛选的人群中间歇性跛行（IC）的患病率。
设计
对挪威北特伦德拉格郡居民进行的流行病学调查。
材料与方法
1995年至1997年期间，邀请挪威北特伦德拉格郡所有20岁及以上居民参加HUNT研究。共有19748名年龄在40至69岁之间的参与者回答了与间歇性跛行症状相关的问题。我们根据这些问题估算了IC的患病率。
结果
总体人群中，年龄调整后的间歇性跛行患病率男性为1.1%，女性为1.2%。我们发现IC的患病率随年龄增加，然而，未观察到性别差异。
结论
间歇性跛行的患病率随年龄逐渐增加。然而，与之前的报告不同，性别之间没有差异。
