Why the study?
Does age or height correlate with femoral artery diameter and elasticity measured by ultrasound M-mode?
Population
70 individuals, comprising 27 medical students aged 21-23 years and 43 persons with a wide range of age.

Supports height- and age-adjusted femoral ultrasound norms; leaves open predictive value and need for longitudinal validation.
Does age or height correlate with femoral artery diameter and elasticity measured by ultrasound M-mode?
Femoral artery stiffness increases proportionally with age, while arterial cross-sectional area correlates positively with height but not age.
Christensen et al. (1985) studied this question.
