X-ray examination of the lumbar spine of 268 Greenlanders and a corresponding number of Danes were reviewed in order to diagnose arteriosclerotic lesions of the abdominal aorta. In 10.4% of the Greenlanders and 11.6% of the Danes major calcifications were found. The two groups did not differ in distribution of age and sex of patients with arteriosclerotic lesions. It is known that arteriosclerotic complications occur less frequently in Greenlanders than in Danes. The study seems to indicate that this cannot be explained by a rarer occurrence of generalized arteriosclerosis.
为了诊断腹主动脉的动脉硬化病变，对268名格陵兰人和相应数量的丹麦人的腰椎进行了X线检查。在10.4%的格陵兰人和11.6%的丹麦人中发现了主要钙化。有动脉硬化病变的患者在年龄和性别分布上，两组并无差异。众所周知，格陵兰人动脉硬化并发症的发生率低于丹麦人。该研究似乎表明，这不能用全身性动脉硬化发生率较低来解释。
