The prevalence and correlates of varicose veins were investigated in a community survey in a neighbourhood of western Jerusalem in 1969-71. The prevalence was 10% among men and 29% among women aged 15 and over; it rose with age in each sex. In both sexes, significant associations were found with standing at work and with region of birth. Among women, varicose veins were associated with weight, the wearing of corsets, and having ever been pregnant. Among men, there was an association with inguinal hernia. The findings support the aetiological role of prolonged standing and raised intra-abdominal pressure. Varicose veins were relatively uncommon among North African-born men and women aged 45 and over. This finding, which was not accounted for by the other observed associations, is consistent with the possible aetiological role of experiences before immigration, such as behavioural patterns laid down in early life.
1969 - 1971年,在耶路撒冷西部一个社区进行的一项调查中,对静脉曲张的患病率及其相关因素进行了研究。15岁及以上男性的患病率为10%,女性为29%;在男女两性中,患病率均随年龄增长而上升。在男女两性中,均发现与工作时站立以及出生地有关。在女性中,静脉曲张与体重、穿紧身胸衣以及曾怀孕有关。在男性中,与腹股沟疝有关。这些发现支持了长时间站立和腹内压升高的病因学作用。在45岁及以上出生于北非的男性和女性中,静脉曲张相对不常见。这一发现无法用其他观察到的关联来解释,与移民前的经历(如早年形成的行为模式)可能的病因学作用一致。
