    Objective: To determine the peripheral arterial disease prevalence and its related factors in type 2 diabetes people from the primary care diabetic patients clubs from Ministry of Public Health in the urban area from Cuenca city, 2014. Methods: Cross-sectional study in a calculated sample with an infinite universe, based on the 95% confidence inference with an error of 4.5% and lower expected prevalence of 10%. Diagnosis established by determining the ankle brachial index with a bidirectional vascular doppler examination with an 8 MHz probe EZ8 or VP5HS 5 MHz probe for edematous extremities, with the technique from American Heart Association 2012. Results: 254 patients were included with a mean age of 63.6 ± 11.4 years, predominantly female (70.3 %). The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease was estimated to be 47.2; 95% CI 41.1 - 53. 3 with significant association for a diabetes mellitus evolution of ≥ 5 years (OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.15 - 3.68, p = 0.015). 58.6 % of the population had a concomitant diagnosis of hypertension. The lipid profile values were close to the recommended ranges, the Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c average value was 9.2 ± 2.7 %. Conclusions: The estimated prevalence of peripheral arterial disease is similar to that reported Studies with the ankle brachial index as a diagnostic criteria and was associated statistically with a diabetes duration for 5 years or more.
