Key result
Abdominal aorta diameters were significantly higher in males than females and positively correlated with age and height (p<0.001).
Why the study?
Normal criteria for abdominal aortic diameters on ultrasound based on age and gender were needed to help clinicians detect aneurysms at an early stage.
What are the normal abdominal aorta diameters on abdominal sonography in healthy asymptomatic adults, and how do they vary with age, gender, and height?

What are the normal abdominal aorta diameters on abdominal sonography in healthy asymptomatic adults, and how do they vary with age, gender, and height?
p-value: p=<0.001
Abdominal aorta diameters measured by ultrasound are significantly larger in males and increase with age and height, providing a baseline for early aneurysm detection.
Establishes age- and sex-specific abdominal aortic diameter norms on ultrasound; leaves open validation for aneurysm screening in broader populations.
The study aims to establish the normal criterion of abdominal aortic diameters measured on abdominal sonography based on gender and age, and to study the variation in aortic diameters with age, sex, and height. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 110 asymptomatic adults were examined by ultrasound using 3.5 MHz probes. The diameters of the abdominal aorta were measured at three levels. The results were analyzed using Student’s t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) on SPSS version 23. The anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the abdominal aorta were significantly higher in males than females and positively correlated with age (p-value <0.001). The diameters were significantly increased with height (p-value <0.001). The normal abdominal diameters were significantly higher in males more than females. The diameters vary significantly with age, gender, and height. Identifying the normal diameter of the abdominal aorta is essential for clinicians to detect an aneurysm at an early stage.

Moawia Gameraddin (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in healthy asymptomatic adults (n=110). Age, gender, and height was evaluated on Abdominal aorta diameter (p=<0.001). Abdominal aorta diameters were significantly higher in males than females and positively correlated with age and height (p<0.001).
