Abstract
This elegant study examines the in fl uence of Earth ’ s gravity fi eld on the prevalence of varicose veins in a geo-physical area. The authors performed a systematic review of studies focusing on prevalence of varicose veins to determine the in fl uence of Earth ’ s gravity fi eld — GRACE GGM05S gravity model — on the disease prevalence. Areas with stronger gravity have signi fi cantly higher prevalence of varicose veins with adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). Adjusted for age, prevalence of varicose veins in areas with gravity fi eld +20 mGal and more is 1.37 times higher than in areas with gravity fi eld less than +20 mGal, p -value 0.005 (95% CI: (cid:1) 12.5 to (cid:1) 2.4): mean disease prevalence for gravity fi eld +20 mGal and more — 27.5% (mean age, 40.1 years; mean gravity fi eld,
期刊介绍：
The leading scientific journal devoted entirely to venous disease, Phlebology is the official journal of several international societies devoted to the subject. It publishes the results of high quality studies and reviews on any factor that may influence the outcome of patients with venous disease. This journal provides authoritative information about all aspects of diseases of the veins including up to the minute reviews, original articles, and short reports on the latest treatment procedures and patient outcomes to help medical practitioners, allied health professionals and scientists stay up-to-date on developments.
