[The effect of vascular risk factors in arteriopathy of the legs in women].
Here the analysis of the results of a multicentered prospective epidemiologic study that has counted only the new cases of chronic atherosclerosis obliterans of the lower extremities. Included have been 989 patients (659 men and 330 women). Critical analysis of data allows a comparative study between the sexes. Thus, specifics of arteriopathy among women can be drawn. It appears that they are only the consequences of the fact that men and women reflect a different level of tobacco use in the two populations.
