This chapter focuses on the bias in analytic research, which is a general trend toward fewer study subjects but more study authors was also noted.

In contrast with the findings in most previous studies, mainly conducted in the 1960s and 1970s, chronic venous insufficiency and mild varicose veins were more common in men than women.

The data suggest that female sex, increased age, pregnancy, geographical site and race are risk factors for varicose veins: there is no hard evidence that family history or occupation are factors.

Results suggest that increased physical activity and weight control may help prevent varicose veins among adults at high risk, and reduce the overall risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease as well.

The data show the prevalence of VV and CVI to be higher or as high as the prevalence found in developed western countries, and it is proposed that studies of these conditions should be included in epidemiological surveys of other developing areas or countries, to reduce future morbidity and the related social onus.

Varicose veins were relatively uncommon among North African-born men and women aged 45 and over, which is consistent with the possible aetiological role of experiences before immigration, such as behavioural patterns laid down in early life.

Among the European women the prevalence of varicose veins was significantly related to age, parity, body weight, type of corsetry, and occupation—that is, whether or not they stood at their work.

Age, height, body mass index (weight/height2), standing at work, and the number of births were expected risk factors associated with varicosities, but signs of osteoarthrosis were positively, and diabetes negatively, associated withvaricose veins.

The aetiology of varicose veins tends to be taken for granted by most; the standard surgical text-books state that the condition is inherited, is more common in those who stand for long hours and raised intraabdominal pressure is a predisposing factor as are both thrombosis and phlebitis.
