Using data from the UK Biobank, a genetic repository of 502,619 people ages 40 to 69, the Stanford researchers identified 30 genetic regions associated with varicose veins.
斯坦福大学的研究人员通过运用英国生物库的数据,也就是年龄在40到69岁之间的502619人的遗传数据,发现了30个与静脉曲张有关的基因区域。
Then they used an artificial intelligence machine model to look for any previously unknown risk factors.
然后他们使用人工智能机器模型来寻找之前还未知的风险因素。
Out of 2,716 predictors of varicose veins, the machine model confirmed many currently established risk factors: age, family history, gender, weight, pregnancy, smoking, hormone therapy and a history of deep vein thrombosis or surgery on the legs.
在2716个静脉曲张的预测因子中,机器模型证实了许多目前已确认的危险因素:年龄、家族史、性别、体重、怀孕、吸烟、激素治疗以及腿部深静脉血栓或手术史。
But, Leeper said, the connection to height was surprising.
但是,利珀博士称,身高因素也在其中确实令人感到惊讶。
To verify that finding, researchers used a statistical technique known as Mendelian randomization to see whether height was an actual cause. Sure enough, the analysis showed that it was.
为了验证这一发现,研究人员使用了一种被称为孟德尔随机取样的统计技术,以确定身高是否是患上静脉曲张的真正因素。果不其然,分析表明确实如此。
