TL;DR
Age, smoking, family history of AAA, and atherosclerotic diseases remained the principal positive associations with AAAs, and female sex, diabetes, and black race remained the Principal negative associations.
Abstract
Our findings confirm our previous cohort findings. Age, smoking, family history of AAA, and atherosclerotic diseases remained the principal positive associations with AAA, and female sex, diabetes, and black race remained the principal negative associations.

Changes in the diameter and compliance of the distal abdominal aorta were determined non-invasively and related to age by means of an ultrasound phase-locked echo-tracking system, indicating diversity in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Aortic elastic properties during passive smoking is investigated by using a high-fidelity method suitable for determining the association between aortic pressure and diameter by developing a Y-shaped intravascular catheter that was developed in the laboratory and uses sonometry to measure diameter.

Community‐based aortic screening is an inexpensive, effective method of diagnosis of aneurysm, with high compliance from the at‐risk cohort of an urban population, and may help to reduce the mortality rate from aortics rupture.

This study demonstrates the marked stiffness or inelasticity of dilated or aneurysmal vessels, part of which is attributable to the loss of elastin.

Findings in mice reflect the critical role of macrophage proteolysis in these disease processes, and human MMP-12 is associated with these diseases, but as opposed to the mouse, other MMPs may also be of importance (MMP-9, and perhaps M MP-7, in particular).
Archives of Internal MedicineYield of Repeated Screening for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm After a 4-Year Interval
89 Citations2000Frank A. Lederle
A second screening is of little practical value after 4 years, mainly because the AAAs detected are small, but the incidence that is observed suggests that a second screening after longer intervals (ie, more than 8 years) may provide yields similar to those seen in initial screening and therefore warrants further study.

The high prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm among patients with COPD is more likely to be caused by medication and coexisting diseases rather than a common pathway of pathogenesis, suggesting that elastase plays an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD but not of abdominal

A study was performed to assess the levels of co-morbidity and to see whether co-Morbidity was different in people with a normal aorta after ultrasonographic examination than in those with an aneurysmal aortA.

Significant coronary stenosis was present in approximately two-thirds of patients with AAA, suggesting that coronary angiography is a useful preoperative examination in patients withAAA, and advanced age and hypertension were more strongly associated with AAA than with coronary artery disease.
