Abstract

The amount of coronary calcification, detected by electron beam tomography (EBT) depends on sex and age. Studies among self-referred, asymptomatic subjects have shown that men generally have higher calcium scores than women and that calcium scores increase with age (Callister and Raggi 2000; Goel et al. 1992; Janowitz et al. 1993; Wong et al. 1994; Hoff et al. 2001). Table 4.6.1 shows sex-and age-stratified calcium scores of the largest study, which comprises 35246 self-referred subjects. More than 50% of the men already had detectable coronary calcification at the age of 40. Median calcium scores increased from 0.5 in men below 40 years to 473 in men over 74 years. Calcium scores in women were comparable to calcium scores in men who were 15 years younger. Until the age of 54 the median calcium score in women was 0. Median calcium scores in women increased to 75 in women over 74 years. Although the amount of coronary calcification increases with age, age itself is not a risk factor for coronary calcification. Rather, age is a cumulative measure of exposure to cardiovascular risk factors.
