Prevalence of ABI ≤ 0.9 and IABPD ≥ 15 mmHg in different categories of BMI. ABI: ankle-brachial index; BMI: body mass index; IABPD: interarm systolic blood pressure difference. N = 925 for BMI < 20, 5643 for BMI ≥ 20 to < 25, 5203 for BMI ≥ 25 to < 30, and 1373 BMI ≥ 30. Prevalence of ABI ≤ 0.9 in subjects with BMI < 20 and BMI ≥ 30 was significantly higher compared with that in subjects with BMI ≥ 20 to < 25 respectively (both P < 0.001). Prevalence of IABPD ≥ 15 mmHg was significantly increased with incremental BMI (P for trend < 0.001)
