Method: Cross-sectional study; 96 patients were collected - sample size was calculated according to descriptive study. Results: Out of a total of 96 patients, women accounted for 67.8%, 2.1 times higher than men; the average age was 64.0 ± 15.7 (ranging from 32 to 86 years old), there was no significant difference between male and female in age. There are 86.5% of patients with venous insufficiency in both legs. There are 42.7% of patients at stage C2, only 3.1% of patients at stage C6. 88.5% cases of superficial venous insufficiency, 80.2% of deep venous insufficiency and 65.6% of perforating venous insufficiency. 100% of patients had tight feeling in calves, 84.4% of patients had uncomfortable feeling in legs. Only 15.6% of patients had painful legs. Swelling legs accounted for the most proportion (91.7%), varicose veins accounted for 69.8%. Patients with changing skin color and veins ulcers accounted the lowest proportion (3.1%). The risk factors for CVI were identified as: age from 55 or older (80.2%), female, prolonged standing, and frequent wearing of high heels shoes. Conclusion: Chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities has a local clinical manifestations; CVI has modifiable risk factors, and is therefore preventable.
