  • Among the affected individuals, 70% were female, emphasizing a potential gender disparity in the prevalence of varicose veins.
  • Prolonged standing for more than 6 hours daily showed a strong association with varicose vein presence, suggesting the need for preventive measures.
  • The findings indicate the importance of addressing ergonomic factors during clinical training to reduce the risk of developing varicose veins.
