TL;DR
This study provides the first comparison of the prevalence of peripheral artery disease between high-income countries (HIC) and low-income or middle- income countries (LMIC), establishes the primary risk factors for peripheral artery diseases in these settings, and estimates the number of people living with peripheral artery Disease regionally and globally.
