Key result
In a necropsy study of 90 Korean women, the number of atherosclerotic segments and atherosclerosis score in the aorta significantly increased with age, but were not affected by body size.
Population
90 superficially healthy Korean women (mean age 39+/-14 yr) who died from external causes

May inform age-based aortic assessment in women; leaves open body size effects in larger prospective cohorts.
Observational (n=90)
Effect estimate: r=0.52
p-value: p=<0.00001
In a necropsy study of superficially healthy Korean women, age was found to be a reliable parameter for estimating the progression of aortic atherosclerosis.
Seo et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Aortic Atherosclerosis (n=90). Age and body size (Observational) was evaluated on Correlation between atherosclerosis score and age (r=0.52, p=<0.00001). In a necropsy study of 90 Korean women, the number of atherosclerotic segments and atherosclerosis score in the aorta significantly increased with age, but were not affected by body size.
