The use of multiple biomarkers representing various etiologic pathways of atherosclerosis may improve the prediction of interindividual variation in the ankle-brachial index (ABI). To this end, we investigated associations of 47 candidate biomarkers with the ABI and presence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in African-Americans (AAs) and non-Hispanic whites (NHWs).
