Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects millions, limiting mobility. A screening of 1,092 elderly residents found 17.7% had possible PAD, with 42% at high risk, highlighting the need for early detection.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common, age-related condition impacting quality of life and ambulation.
  • Early detection and intervention are crucial for managing PAD symptoms and progression.
  • Millions of Americans are affected by PAD, necessitating effective screening strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the prevalence of possible PAD in elderly ambulatory residents.
  • To identify individuals at high risk for PAD within this demographic.
  • To evaluate the utility of a noninvasive screening program for PAD in older adults.

Main Methods:

  • A noninvasive screening program was implemented in Rhode Island.
  • The screening methodology was based on guidelines from the National Council on the Aging.

  • A total of 1,092 elderly ambulatory residents participated in the study.

    • Main Results:

    • Possible PAD was detected in 17.7% of the screened subjects.
    • A significant proportion, 42%, were identified as being at high risk for PAD.
    • The screening identified a substantial number of elderly individuals with or at risk for PAD.

    Conclusions:

    • Noninvasive screening can effectively detect possible PAD in elderly populations.
    • A significant percentage of older adults are at high risk for PAD, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.
    • Early identification through screening programs can facilitate timely treatment and improve outcomes for PAD patients.
