A quantitative study of peripheral arterial calcification and glucose tolerance in elderly diabetics and non-diabetics

Abstract

A quantitative study of peripheral arterial calcification and glucose tolerance in elderly diabetics and non-diabetics has been performed. A correlation between radiological media calcification and glucose tolerance in non-diabetics was found. Intima calcification was not correlated. Severe media calcification was much more common in diabetics than in non-diabetics. © 1971 Springer-Verlag.
