Abstract

The article discusses a study which examines the association of arcus corneae and xanthelasmata on the determination of individuals' risk of ischaemic vascular disease and death. Findings reveal that xanthelasmata can predict risk of myocardial infarction, ischaemic vascular disease and death. However, it indicates that arcus corneae is not an effective risk indicator for cardiovascular diseases.
