Relation between serum resistin level and peripheral artery occlusive disease in elderly males
Abstract：Abstratct:Objective To study the relation between serum resistin level and peripherial arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) in elderly males .Methods Eight hundred and forty-three elderly male patients were divided into PAOD group (n=165) and non-PAOD group (n=678) .Their serum levels of resistin and CRP were mesured and analyzed by correlation analysis .Results The serum resistin level was significantly higher in PAOD group than in non-PAOD group (7 .26 ± 2 .94 ng/L vs 6 .49 ± 3 .09 ng/L ,P<0.05) and independlty related with the serum CRP and HDL-C level (P<0 .05) .The incidence of PAOD increased with the serum resistin level ,indicating that resistin was an independent risk factor for PAOD .Conclusion Serum resistin level is significantly higher in elderly male PAOD patients and may be a predictive factor for PAOD .
