Mammary intra-arterial calcification (MIAC) as a predictor of occult diabetes has been suggested in the medical literature. However, the incidence of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis increases with age, as well as with hypertension and diabetes. The mammograms of 169 known diabetic women were reviewed for MIAC. Of the 27 (16%) women who had MIAC, 85% were aged 60 or older. There is no support for a direct relationship between MIAC and diabetes mellitus; MIAC is part of the aging process, where the population is at a greater risk for hypertension and/or diabetes.
医学文献中曾提出,乳腺动脉内钙化(MIAC)可作为隐匿性糖尿病的一个预测指标。然而,动脉硬化和动脉粥样硬化的发病率会随着年龄增长而上升,同时也与高血压和糖尿病有关。对169名已知患有糖尿病的女性的乳房X光片进行了MIAC检查。在27名(16%)患有MIAC的女性中,85%的年龄在60岁及以上。没有证据支持MIAC与糖尿病之间存在直接关系;MIAC是衰老过程的一部分,在此过程中人群患高血压和/或糖尿病的风险更高。
