Expectations of healthy living are greater in women than men at the age of 60 years. In life after a healthy life expectancy, often women begin to get sick. The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in women increases with age, so more women than men have PAD after age 40 years. PAD is often undiagnosed in women, because many do not show clinical symptoms that can lead to ongoing disease and increase the risk of unexpected events and mortality. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) tests predict death and adverse cardiovascular events regardless of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and can be used to diagnose PAD. The study was conducted with a cross-sectional method on 146 women in District X, South Jakarta, conducted in February to July 2020. Data collection included demographic characteristics data, physical examination including weight, height, manual blood pressure and ABI (Ankle Brachial Index) examination. In this study it was found that the age of the respondents varied from 50 to 70 years. The mean systolic blood pressure was 145.20 + 25.204 mmHg and the mean diastolic blood pressure was 85.99 + 12.121 mmHg. The average value of the right ABI (1,024 + 0,108), the left ABI (1,027 + 0,112). Pearson correlation test results obtained diastolic blood pressure has a significant relationship with the value of the left ABI (p = 0.047 and r = - 0.164). Based on that, we can conclude that increased diastolic blood pressure is significantly associated with lower ABI values.
