Method Random samples maternal age 35 and over were used to analyze the prevalence and distributing feature of self-reported abnormal ABI among different nationality in 7 municipalities and locality and 26 community and autonomous county in Xinjiang. Results A total of 14 618 adults were surveyed. The prevalence of abnormal ABI was 1.26％. The prevalence of abnormal ABI was 3.56％, 7.05％ and 5.79％ in Han, Uygur and Hazakh population, respectively.Incidence of abnormal ABI was significantly higher in females than in males (6. 65％ vs 3. 74％, X2 =58.79,P =0.00). Gender, nationality, systolic blood pressure, body mass index were independent predictors for abnormal ABI. Conclusions The results of this study showed higher prevalence rate of abnormal ABI, especially in females, in Xinjiang. Nationality and gender are predictors for abnormal ABI.
