The prevalence of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) was assessed in terms of ankle/brachial index by doppler studies in a large cohort of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients in South India. One hundred and ninety-two out of 4941 patients (3.9%) had evidence of PVD. There was a slight female excess in PVD patients. There was a linear increase in prevalence of PVD with increasing duration of diabetes. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that serum cholesterol, serum creatinine, systolic BP, duration of diabetes and ishaemic heart disease are strong predictive factors for PVD. The prevalence of PVD in South Indians is lower than that reported in European populations.
通过多普勒研究，依据踝臂指数对印度南部一大群非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病（NIDDM）患者的外周血管疾病（PVD）患病率进行了评估。4941名患者中有192名（3.9%）有PVD证据。PVD患者中女性略多。随着糖尿病病程延长，PVD患病率呈线性增加。多因素逻辑回归分析显示，血清胆固醇、血清肌酐、收缩压、糖尿病病程和缺血性心脏病是PVD的强预测因素。南印度人的PVD患病率低于欧洲人群报告的患病率。
