PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To non-invasively and more accurately evaluate a risk or degree of a subject's disease or aortic hardening from a carotid blood flow waveform of the subject. SOLUTION: The disease or aortic sclerosis evaluation apparatus is based on a peak systolic flow velocity V2 calculated from the carotid blood flow waveform of a subject, and an evaluation means for evaluating the presence or absence, risk or degree of disease or aortic sclerosis is provided. I have it. [Selection diagram] Figure 2【課題】被験者の頸動脈血流波形から非侵襲的かつより正確に被験者の疾患又は大動脈硬化の危険性又は程度を評価すること。【解決手段】疾患又は大動脈硬化の評価装置は、被験者の頸動脈血流波形から算出される収縮後期ピーク流速V2に基づいて、疾患又は大動脈硬化の有無、危険性又は程度を評価する評価手段を備えている。【選択図】図２
