TL;DR
To assess the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in men with diabetes aged 60 years and over, a large number of patients with diabetes are diagnosed with at least some form of diabetes.
Abstract
Although a small number of men with diabetes aged 60 or more have undiagnosed AAA, the prevalence does not appear to be high enough to warrant targeted ultrasound screening.

The Aneurysm Detection and Management (ADAM) study is an ongoing randomized clinical trial comparing two strategies for the management of AAA in patients 50 to 79 years of age with asymptomatic AAAs.

New epidemiological evidence that hypertriglyceridaemia is an important predictor of coronary heart disease mortality in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes suggests a possible role of dyslipidaemia in the excessive occurrence of atherosclerotic vascular disease in this category of subjects.

The incidence of rupture was reduced by 55 per cent in men in the group invited for screening, compared with controls, and the incidence of rupturing in women was low in both groups.

The 36 men who had objective evidence of occlusive arterial disease of the lower limbs were twice as likely to be tobacco smokers and accounted for 5 (20%) of the aneurysms discovered, and extension of this screening programme to England and Wales could be expected to identify 52,500 men with an abdominal aorticAneurysm.
Circulation5-year incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease in relation to general risk factors, insulin level, and abnormalities in lipoprotein composition in non-insulin-dependent diabetic and nondiabetic subjects.
291 Citations1990Matti Uusitupa, Leo Niskanen +3 more
Changing lipoprotein composition characteristic of non-insulin-dependent diabetes are atherogenic and increase the risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease, and high plasma insulin might also be involved in atherogenesis, independent of lipop protein abnormalities.

It is concluded that the high mortality rate following rupture is more dependent upon failure to operate than on operative mortality.

The prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a defined population of elderly men and its correlation to some risk factors were studied in the population cohort "men born in 1914 from Malmö".

120 Citations1993Frank C T Smith, Gina M. Grimshaw +3 more
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.

114 Citations1993Shane T. MacSweeney, Maurice P. O'Meara +4 more
Patients with arterial disease have a high risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm and routine ultrasonographic screening should be considered, and physical examination was an inadequate method of screening.

Ultrasound screening for AAA is a reliable and useful method and should be focused on men, regardless of concurrent disease.

The results suggest that aortic screening may be worthwhile extending to a wider age band and should give greater value for younger men in terms of community productivity and allows for selective intervention in the elderly.

It is suggested that type II diabetes contributes additional risk for LEAOD, and a risk score including smoking history, duration of diabetes, depressed HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, elevated systolic blood pressure, and low obesity index is related toLEAOD.

Early detection of aortic aneurysms, leading to elective rather than emergency repair, would be of much greater benefit than the small increase in overall survival one would expect from improving treatment in cases of rupture.

It is a matter for serious concern that the interventions of the medical profession have not had more impact on the very high mortality associated with this condition, which compares very favourably with normal expectations.

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.
