In a series of 69 human cadavers (age range 18-95 years), the tortuosity of the lingual artery and its association to age, sex, death of cardiovascular disease and general atherosclerotic state as assessed at necropsy were studied. The tortuosity increased significantly with age, but there were no sex differences. Within the three age groups there were no significant associations between arterial tortuosity and death from cardiovascular disease or general atherosclerotic state.
在一系列69具人类尸体（年龄范围为18 - 95岁）中，研究了舌动脉的迂曲情况及其与年龄、性别、心血管疾病死亡情况以及尸检时评估的总体动脉粥样硬化状态之间的关系。迂曲程度随年龄显著增加，但无性别差异。在三个年龄组中，动脉迂曲与心血管疾病死亡或总体动脉粥样硬化状态之间无显著关联。
