“…A magnitude of studies have reported that a lower ABPI was associated with an increased risk of diabetes [ 15 ], cardiovascular diseases [ 16 ], and poor nutritional status [ 17 ]. Besides, a high ABPI > 1.3 indicates the calcification of the incompressible vessels reflecting arterial stiffness, which has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [ 18 ].…”
