摘要: There is a general tendency towards atherosclerosis and arterial dilatation in older age, high blood pressure also tends to increase diameters. The purpose of this study was examine the effect hypertension other cardiovascular risk factors on aortic, common iliac femoral artery diameters abdominal aorta arteries extent echogenic plaques down groin level were evaluated with ultrasound 1007 middle-aged (40-60 years) men (505) women (502), 496 511 controls. Twenty-eight subjects excluded because poor visualization. Men had significantly larger (mean 21.3+/-2.8 vs. 17.8+/-1.3 mm) (13.4+/-2.0 12.2+/-1.2) (11.0+/-1.4 9.7+/-0.9) than (P for all <0.001), but diameter related subject's size. Atherosclerotic plaques, age height associated men, while body mass index (BMI) less significance. hypertensive aged 56-60 controls same age. In women, height, BMI diastolic (DBP) aorta, systolic (SBP) no effect. Age, BMI, DBP SBP both genders, smoking an inverse correlation. results lipid values inconsistent abnormal glucose tolerance test proved nonsignificant. conclusion, size measured as men. increased significantly. However, disease itself only minimal changes smaller
