Infrarenal aortic diameter in the healthy person

摘要: In order to determine the relevance of abdominal aortic dilatation, knowledge normal diameter and its relation age, sex body size (height, weight, surface area) is essential. The infrarenal aorta was measured in 146 healthy males females 4-74 years old with ultrasonography influence aforesaid factors on analysed by means a multiple stepwise regression model. found increase steadily throughout life. From about 25 larger than (p < 0.01) though this difference vanished if corrected for differences area. Significant correlations were between weight (r = 0.84, p 0.001), height 0.77, 0.001) area 0.83, 0.001). Age followed most influencing both 0.92, 0.94, Nomograms predicting diameters sex, are presented.
