Keywords: Ankle brachial index, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease Low ABI was associated with advancing age, DM, and hypertension. The prevalence of PAD increases by 5–10 folds after the fifth decade of life. The risk factors for low ABI were age ( P = 0.00), history of hypertension ( P = 0.03), and diabetes mellitus (DM) ( P = 0.00).Ĭonclusion: 24.8% of the participants had low ABI indicating PAD. The prevalence of low ABI increased from 4.9% between 50 and 59 years to 25.3% and 58.7% between 60 and 69 and ≥70 years, respectively. Results: Two hundred and eighty-eight (72.0%) of the participants had normal ABI, 99 (24.8%) had low ABI indicating PAD, and 13 (3.3%) had high ABI. ABI value of 1.3 was taken as high ABI indicating arterial calcification. Background: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a ratio of Doppler recorded ankle and brachial systolic blood pressure.
