| Popis: | Background and Purpose— Low values of ankle–arm systolic blood pressure ratio predict mortality and cardiovascular events. High values, associated with arterial calcification, also carry risk for mortality. We focus on the extent to which low and high ankle–arm index values as well as noncompressible arteries are associated with mortality and cardiovascular events, including stroke in older adults. Methods— We followed 2886 adults aged 70 to 79 for a mean of 6.7 years for vital status and cardiovascular events (coronary heart disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure). Results— Normal ankle–arm index values of 0.91 to 1.3 were found in 80%, low values of ≤0.9 were found in 13%, high values of >1.3 were obtained in 5%, and noncompressible arteries were found in 2% of the group. Increased mortality was associated with both low and high ankle–arm index values beginning at levels of P Conclusions— Among older adults, low and high ankle–arm index values carry elevated risk for cardiovascular events. Noncompressible leg arteries carry elevated risk for stroke and congestive heart failure specifically. |
