Abstract

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) causes narrowing of the lower extremity arteries and impacts daily living activities. This retrospective study (April 2023 - April 2024) examined 171 home care patients, with 31.6% diagnosed with PAD. Of these, 37.4% were fully dependent, 36.3% (n = 62) were severely dependent, 16.4% (n = 28) were moderately dependent, 7.0% (n = 12) were mildly dependent, 2.9% (n = 5) were independent, and PAD prevalence was higher among severely dependent patients. Dementia was identified as a significant risk factor for PAD. The high prevalence of PAD among severely dependent individuals suggests a potential link between lifestyle factors and PAD risk. The study highlights the need for further research on whether modifying PAD risk factors can enhance patient independence.
