INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATION AND PERIPHERAL PULSES IN OLDER PEOPLE

J. S. MILNE and J. WILLIAMSON

Royal Victoria Hospital Edinburg

The prevalence of intermittent claudication and the palpability of pulses in the feet were determined in Edinburgh in a random sample of 487 older people aged 62 and upwards. Claudication was admitted by 10–4 per cent of the men and 2–6 per cent of the women. No association was found with cigarette smoking. The proportion of absent foot pulses rose with age and with the presence of claudication. No relationship was found between foot pulses and angina pectoris, nor between ischaemic heart disease and claudication.
