Height May Be Significant Risk Factor For Varicose Veins, Study Suggests.

CNN (9/24, Lamotte) reports on its website that researchers found that "a person's height" is "a significant risk factor for developing varicose veins." The article adds that "about 20% of all adults will develop varicose veins, according to the US National Library of Medicine." The findings were published in Circulation.

        HealthDay (9/24, Thompson) reports the researchers found that "every additional four inches in height increases your risk of varicose veins by about 25 percent."

        Cardiology Today (9/24, Webb) reports that the author of an accompanying editorial wrote, "One innovative aspect of the study was the use of unsupervised machine learning for agnostic interrogation of over 2,700 diverse clinical variables to identify those associated with incident varicose veins."
