Abstract
Clinical data on 50 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) in China (Group A) and Japan (Group B) respectively were studied for better understanding of these changing trends. The results showed that the incidence of ASO peaked in Group A in the 50 to 69 age range (88%) and in Group B in the 55 to 74 age range (78%). Group A had a lower ratio of smokers and cases of diabetes mellitus than Group B but a higher ratio of hypertension and a higher total cholesterol level. Angiography showed that the prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions in the lower extremities as a whole was similar for both groups. They were different in location, extent and severity of the arteries involved between the two groups. We believe that this study has shown various differences between the two groups but that the causes are probably multifactorial.
