Description
Summary:	•Sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics of CVI.•Impact of chronic venous insufficiency on the functional capacity of individuals with less severe disease.•Public health treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. Describe and analyze the sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics of individuals with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and compare the clinical severity with levels of mobility. Methods. Exploratory cross-sectional study in a single public health center. The study cohort comprised 99 individuals. Clinical, sociodemographic and physical activity level questionnaires were applied; we also evaluated ankle amplitude and sural triceps function. Descriptive statistics, independent t test and one-way ANOVA with post hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) were performed. Ninety-nine participants (87.9% woman) with an average age with an average age of 60.6 ± 14 years who where recruited to the study. The cohort was composed of individuals were moderately active, 80% exhibited symptoms of the disease and approximately 40% reported reduced mobility. Individuals who had reduced mobility and less physical activity showed reduced ankle amplitude and muscle function (p <0.05). CVI impacts on functional capacity, even in individuals with less severe disease.
