[Prevalence of peripheral arterial disease and associated factors in elderly patients using an automated oscillometric device].

The objective is to determine the presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and the factors associated in elderly patients, analyzing variables such as sex, age, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular problems. The investigation was conducted in 257 patients by assessing their ankle-brachial index (ABI). To do this, WatchBP Office, a specific automatic blood pressure measurement device for assessing ABI, was used.
