Each individual answers a questionnaire and receives Doppler echocardiographic examination for an observation of the cardiac structure, function and valve condition. A logistic regression analysis is also made to identify possible risk factors and their powers on the prevalence of SDHVD.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The prevalence ratio of SDHVD by means of ultrasonic checks among military elderly in Beijing is 13.4%. Among them, the prevalence ratio of SDHVD for age groups of 60-, 70-, and 80 or above are 7.7%, 16.1%, 25.7% respectively.
