Six hundred African diabetics were examined for evidence of large vessel disease using a standardised technique based on the World Health Organisation Multinational Study, in which no country from Africa was represented. Twelve patients had electrocardiograms coded coronary probable using Minnesota coding. Seven patients had had strokes and 10 peripheral vascular disease. Despite the high prevalence of hypertension large vessel disease was uncommon, being comparable with Japan and Hong Kong, who had the lowest prevalence in the WHO study. Overall, only 49 patients had evidence of macrovascular disease.
采用基于世界卫生组织多国研究的标准化技术,对600名非洲糖尿病患者进行了大血管疾病证据检查,该研究中没有非洲国家参与。12名患者的心电图根据明尼苏达编码被判定为可能患有冠心病。7名患者曾患中风,10名患有外周血管疾病。尽管高血压患病率很高,但大血管疾病并不常见,与日本和香港相当,这两个地区在世卫组织研究中的患病率最低。总体而言,只有49名患者有大血管疾病的证据。
