What are the principal positive and negative associations with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)?
Age, smoking, family history, and atherosclerosis are key positive risk factors for AAA, whereas female sex, diabetes, and black race are negatively associated.
Our findings confirm our previous cohort findings. Age, smoking, family history of AAA, and atherosclerotic diseases remained the principal positive associations with AAA, and female sex, diabetes, and black race remained the principal negative associations.
