Abdominal aorta aneurysm Abdominal aorta diameter Normal values Ultrasonography

To use US to evaluate the normal values of aortic diameter (AD), stratifying the population by age, gender and body build, as measured using wrist circumference (WC).Between April 2010 and February 2012, consecutive patients ≥ 30 years of age, without history of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were prospectively enrolled. They underwent an abdominal ultrasonography for reasons other than aorta evaluation. AD was measured at the infrarenal (AD₁), intermediate (AD₂), and iliac bifurcation (AD₃) levels: a diameter ≥ 3 cm was considered as an aneurysm. The maximal aortic diameter (AD(max)) was measured for AAA patients. WC was measured; AD/WC ratio was calculated and presented in percentage: the range of normal values was obtained excluding AAA cases and calculated as mean ± 1.96 × standard deviation. Pearson correlation coefficient was used.We recruited 1200 patients, 15 (1.25
