Vascular Ultrasound Assessment of Abdominal Aortic Diameter and Prevalence of Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm in Individuals Aged 60 Years and Above

In this population-based survey, the mean infrarenal abdominal aortic diameter was 18.2 ± 2.93 mm in men and 16.3 ± 1.87 mm in women, with an infrarenal aortic aneurysm prevalence of 0.12%. Further population-based studies with a bigger sample and extended follow-up are necessary to investigate further the aortic morphologies predisposing to later aneurysm.
