Heritability of the ankle-brachial index: the Framingham Offspring study.

American journal of epidemiology - 15 Nov 2006

Murabito Joanne M, Guo Chao-Yu, Fox Caroline S, D'Agostino Ralph B

Abstract excerpt

The ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABI) is a widely utilized measure for detecting peripheral arterial disease. Genetic contributions to variation in ABI are largely unknown. The authors sought to estimate ABI heritability in a community-based sample. From 1995 to 1998, ABI was measured in 1,097 men and 1,189 women (mean age = 57 years; range, 29-85 years) from 999 families in the Framingham Offspring...
