Carotid Bulb Geometry Differences Between Asian and White Populations, 200 Participants

200 adults (100 White participants in Germany and 100 Asian participants in China) were enrolled consecutively between 2022 and 2025 for a cross-sectional study of carotid bifurcation geometry. The dataset, authored by Hossam Abdelmageed and last updated in April 2026, contains measurements of carotid bulb and artery diameters used to calculate geometry ratios. Results show significant ethnic differences in carotid bulb geometry, such as a lower CB/ICA ratio in Asian participants, independent of vascular risk factors.

Use Cases

• Analyzing ethnic differences in carotid bulb geometry based on predefined diameter ratios mentioned in the description
• Modeling hemodynamic influences on plaque formation based on anatomical geometry data
• Investigating the relationship between carotid bifurcation geometry and atherosclerosis burden across populations
• Adjusting anatomical risk models for vascular disease based on ethnicity-specific geometry

Strengths

• Data from 200 participants provides a basis for comparative analysis between two ethnic groups
• Models were adjusted for multiple vascular risk factors including age, sex, BMI, diabetes, and smoking
• Measurements were assessed bilaterally, accounting for within-subject correlation

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is small in scale at 535.4 KB, indicating limited scope
