Abstract
Involvement of thrombi is highly conceivable in the pathological process of brain and heart vessel diseases that comprise the major cause of mortality.The blood rheology measuring device (MC-FAN) which can evaluate the influence of thrombi and the blood flow by a direct image is a useful tool. We analyzed the relation of lifestyle factors assessed by questionnaire and the liquidity of blood by using MC-FAN. Subjects were persons who underwent blood rheology test in our center. The passage time of whole blood showed significant correlation with triglyceride, Ht, WBC, weight, BMI and showed significant reverse correlation with HDL cholesterol.
For subjects who were smokers, had blood passage time that was long and conversely for subjects who regularly exercised, it was short. It is conceivable that owing to the difference of lifestyle, there was the difference in blood liquidity. In order to prevent lifestyle related diseases, it may be important to improve blood liquidity.
