Age, gender, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, ankle–brachial index, and carotid artery stenosis percentage in control and patient groups
| Parameter | Control subjects (n = 25) | Patients (n = 55) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (year) | 54 ± 15.39 | 61 ± 8.97 | <0.05 |
| Gender (M/F) | 7/18 | 24/31 | |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 25.3 ± 4.06 | 27.1 ± 4.4 | NS |
| SBP (mmHg) | 117 ± 3.91 | 140.2 ± 23.22 | <0.001 |
| DBP (mmHg) | 75.9 ± 6.28 | 78.1 ± 9.5 | NS |
| ABI | 1.1 ± 0.05 | 0.7 ± 0.35 | <0.001 |
| Carotid artery stenosis | – | 40.8 % ± 28.42 | |
| (Rt)% | |||
| (Lt)% | – | 43.6 ± 34.55 |
Comparisons were made using Mann–Whitney test. P < 0.05 is statistically significant
BMI body mass index, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, ABI ankle–brachial index, NS non-significant
