Key result
Advancing age is associated with progressive changes in aortic morphology, including increases in luminal diameter, length, and thickness, as well as alterations in microstructural components.
Why the study?
Age is a major risk factor for aortic degenerative changes and diseases, making detailed anatomical understanding essential for age-associated processes, future clinical therapies, and age determination.

Age-related aortic changes warrant age-adjusted imaging norms; this review extends anatomical knowledge but leaves clinical translation open.
This review summarizes the anatomical and morphological changes of the human aorta with advancing age, which is relevant for understanding aortic diseases and future clinical therapies.
Komutrattananont et al. (2019) conducted a review in Age-related changes in aortic morphology. Advancing age was evaluated. Advancing age is associated with progressive changes in aortic morphology, including increases in luminal diameter, length, and thickness, as well as alterations in microstructural components.
