Abstract

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a diagnostic tool to know the status of a patient in terms of peripheral vascular health. The body mass index (BMI) is another tool that helps health personnel know the patient's body composition. The data that have been considered are from 151 adult patients hospitalized in the internal medicine service of the University School Hospital. They found that the relationship between these two variables is weak; this is known through statistical techniques of probability study and correlation using the methods of Spearman and Pearson. It is concluded that ABI and BMI have a weak negative correlation. Additionally, age is not a factor that affects the ABI value since it can be affected by variables and conditions not considered in this study. Keywords: ankle-brachial index; body mass index; peripheral vascular disease
