Abstract
Background: Asymptomatic peripheral arterial diseases is several times more common in population, hence early detection with Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is needed. Many risk factors can lead to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Increasing age and smoking is often associated with increases in PAD. Some research also suggests that sex differences influence the prevalence of PAD. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate correlation between age, sex, and smoking with ankle brachial index in population at risk for PAD. Methods: This is an observational study with cross-sectional design conducted at NTB General Hospital, Risa Sentra Medika Hospital, and Harapan Keluarga Hospital. Data of Age, sex, and smoking were obtained through anamnesis. Results: A total of 133 respondents, most respondents are in 60–69 years old group (38.3%), 53.4% males and 63.1% non-smoker. We found subject with ABI at risk in 34 (25.6%) respondents. Statistical analysis showed there was no correlation between risk factors of sex (p = 0.392) and smoking (p = 0.979) with ABI value. A kolmogorov-smirnov test also showed no correlation between age (p = 0.980) with ABI value. Conclusion: In this small study, we observed no correlation between age, sex and smoking status with ABI.
