The authors assessed the probability and terms of the development of chronic obliterating diseases of lower-limb arteries under the influence of the predictors studied. Using the Statistica 6.0 programme we carried out the analysis of the function of survival on a sample of 7,959 people. Based on the Kaplan-Mayer method and Cox regression model we determined the most significant predictors influencing the development of subclinical lesions of lower-extremity arteries. Also determined was the duration of the influence of each predictor prior to clinical manifestation and contribution of each predictor to the development of the examined outcomes.

KEY WORDS: peripheral artery disease, lower-limb ischaemia, risk factors, predictors, modelling.
