Systematic review identifies multiple risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm, suggesting targeted interventions may improve outcomes.

Increased risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm is significantly associated with hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Male gender and current or past smoking were found to increase the odds of developing abdominal aortic aneurysm significantly (OR: 3.78, P < 0.001).
