Background.
Information on the association between earlobe crease (ELC) and peripheral artery disease is limited.
We assessed this association in community-dwelling older adults.
Study Design.
A total of 294 Atahualpa residents aged ≥60 years were enrolled.
ELC were visually identified by two raters.
The ankle-brachial index (ABI), used as a surrogate of peripheral artery disease, was categorized using American Heart Association criteria.
Using logistic regression and probability models, adjusted for demographics and cardiovascular risk factors, we assessed the relationship between ELC and abnormal ABI determinations, as well as the influence of age on this association.
Results.
ELC was identified in 141 (48%) individuals, and abnormal ABI determination was carried out in 56 (19%).
The association between ELC and abnormal ABI was nonsignificant in logistic regression and probability models with individuals stratified according to their median age.
Conclusions.
The association between ELC and abnormal ABI determinations is probably attenuated by the high prevalence of both conditions in older persons.
ELC might not be useful for identifying candidates for ABI determination.
