Figure 2 Odds Ratios for CVD Comorbidities in Those With an ABI 1.40 Compared With an ABI Between 0.90 and 1.40

Compared with those with a normal ABI, individuals with a high ABI have significantly higher odds for congestive heart failure, stroke, foot ulcers, and neuropathy. Odds ratios are adjusted for age, gender, race, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and body mass index. ABI = ankle-brachial index; CVD = cardiovascular disease.
