[Clinical studies on peripheral arteriosclerotic lesions in the Piedmont region].
The assistance of the Piedmont Region calculation centre was obtained in the evaluation and detailed examination of data on all patients admitted to hospitals in the Region for peripheral atherosclerotic arteriopathy during a three-year period. Age, sex, site of lesion, occupation, geographical distribution, and type of treatment employed were all analysed statistically. A difference between age categories in relation to sex was noted for incidence and site of lesions, while occupation was not correlated to the clinical progress of the disease. Regional incidence (for all Piedmont local health units) was both above and below the general average in some areas. It also appeared that the greatest incidence lay along the Alps.
