RESUMO
Objective To explore the arterial function of the Miao nationality people who live in natural circumstance.Methods 244 Miaos were mcmited in our studv.Right blood pressure and biochemistry examination were measured.PWV and CAVI were measured using validated automatic devices and used as indexes of arterial stiffness.Ultrasonic indexes such as carotid diameter,carotid plaque,IMT、flow-mediated dilation(FMD) were measured as well.Results Body mass index,waist-to-hip ratio,heart rates,blood lipid level and glucose had no significant difierence between male and female groups.Arterial function indexes such as C-F PWV(9.50±2.14 vs.8.81±1.69,t=2.074,P=0.006),C-R PWV(11.39±1.74 vs.10.54±1.77,t=3.506,P<0.001),R-CAVI(8.25±1.35 vs.7.41±1.20,t=4.768,P<0.001),L-CAVI(8.21±1.30 vs.7.41±1.15,t=4.616,P<0.001),R-IMT(0.67±O.12 vs.0.63±0.13,t=2.503,P=0.012) and L-IMT(0.67±0.11 vs.0.63±0.14,t=2.337,P=O.018) had significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions The medical condition of the Mians needs to be impmved.It is useful to diagnose patients and hish risk people by systemic arterial function examination.
