The prevalence of pelvic phleboliths was compared in 359 Melanasian patients and 169 white patients in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, and was found to be 12% and 51% respectively. The number and the size of phleboliths were also greater in white patients. These findings are similar to the data available from other parts of the world. The lower prevalence of pelvic phleboliths (and deep vein thrombosis) in Papua New Guineans may be related to their high fibre content diet, to their more active fibrinolytic system, or to both.
在巴布亚新几内亚莫尔斯比港，对359名美拉尼西亚患者和169名白人患者的盆腔静脉石患病率进行了比较，结果分别为12%和51%。白人患者的静脉石数量和大小也更多。这些发现与世界其他地区的现有数据相似。巴布亚新几内亚人盆腔静脉石（和深静脉血栓形成）患病率较低可能与其高纤维含量饮食、更活跃的纤维蛋白溶解系统或两者都有关。
