本文根据 Framingham 地区5209位居民的12年随访资料,探讨胸片示有胸主动脉钙化斑和心血管疾病发生之间的关系。每增加10岁,主动脉钙化斑的患病率增加将近一倍,男子增加稍多。在65岁以下的男子和妇女中,即使将其它危险因素均考虑在内,主动脉钙化斑的存在可使心血管死亡危险性增加一倍。在中年妇女中,冠心病、卒中和间歇性 Based on 12-year follow-up data from 5209 residents in the Framingham region, this study explored the relationship between chest radiographs of thoracic aortic calcifications and cardiovascular disease. For each additional 10 years old, the prevalence of aortic calcification increased nearly doubled, and the male increased slightly. Among men and women under the age of 65, the presence of aortic calcification plaque can double the risk of cardiovascular death even if other risk factors are taken into account. Among middle-aged women, coronary heart disease, stroke and intermittency
