Key result
The normal diameter of the proximal abdominal aorta in middle-aged and elderly Chinese Han adults was 21.49 ± 2.49 mm, with arterial diameters being significantly larger in males and positively correlated with age, BSA, height, weight, and BMI (P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Normal diameters of the abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries in middle-aged and elderly people in China, and their relationship with age, sex, and anthropometric metrics, needed investigation.

Provides reference values for abdominal aortic diameter in Chinese Han adults; leaves open need for validation across populations and clinical outcomes.
Hu et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Normal abdominal aorta and common iliac artery (n=625). Male sex and increasing body metrics (BSA, BMI, height, weight) vs. Female sex and lower body metrics was evaluated on Diameters of the abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries (p=<0.001). The normal diameter of the proximal abdominal aorta in middle-aged and elderly Chinese Han adults was 21.49 ± 2.49 mm, with arterial diameters being significantly larger in males and positively correlated with age, BSA, height, weight, and BMI (P < 0.001).
