Abstract
A cardiovascular risk evaluation apparatus includes a hypoxic acquisition unit for acquiring a measurement result that includes a blood oxygen saturation level measured in a hypoxic period in which the blood oxygen saturation level of a subject is lower than a threshold value, and a blood pressure measured when the blood oxygen saturation level was measured; a non-hypoxic acquisition unit for acquiring a measurement result that includes a blood oxygen saturation level measured in a non-hypoxic period of the blood oxygen saturation level of the subject, and a blood pressure measured when the blood oxygen saturation level was measured; and an indicator acquisition unit for acquiring a cardiovascular risk evaluation indicator for the subject based on the relationship between blood oxygen saturation level and blood pressure, which is based on the measurement results acquired by the hypoxic acquisition unit and the non-hypoxic acquisition unit.
