| Popis: | Background: Ankle–Brachial Index (ABI) has a proven role in the baseline assessment of the individuals who are at a risk of cardiovascular diseases. Sparse data are available regarding the association of cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and ABI from India. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital in South India among patients with T2DM during the period October 2014–June 2016. ABI was measured using vascular Doppler-sphygmomanometer. Independent cardiovascular risk factors were assessed and their association with ABI was studied. Results: ABI was negatively correlated to cardiovascular risk factors such as age, body mass index, duration of T2DM, duration of hypertension and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the entire study population as well as in both genders separately. Among females, a statistically significant association of low ABI ( |
