1 in 20 Americans over the age of 50 has Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
PAD is a condition that develops when fatty plaque builds up in the arteries and veins of the legs and limits blood flow. Just like clogged arteries in the heart, PAD raises risk for heart attack and stroke.
What are the symptoms of PAD?
- Leg numbness and a sense of weakness
- Coldness in the lower leg or foot
- Sores on toes, feet, or legs that do not heal
- Hair loss on legs and feet

It’s important to know that people can have PAD without knowing it. People often experience minor symptoms but don’t report them because they believe they are either a natural part of aging or due to another condition.
