title: [Varicose disease of the lower limbs: analysis of the most common predisposing factors in a sample of 589 patients from eastern Sicily. A retrospective study].
abstract: Authors analyze, retrospectively, the principal predisposing factors to varicose illness: age, sex, pregnancy, oral contraceptives, and labour activity, in 589 patients. They consider the correlation between subjective symptomatology and the time of varicose appearance, in order to individualize a pre-clinical status.
