Overview
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is the 13th leading cause of death in the US. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are more common in developed countries. Elderly, caucasian males who are smokers are at a higher risk for developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms increases after age 60 and peaks in the seventh and eighth decades of life.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence among males over 60 years is 2000-6000/100,000.[2]
Age
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a disease of the elderly, and is the 10th leading cause of death in older men in the United States.[3]
- An individual's risk of AAA increases by 6% per decade of life
- Rupture of the AAA occurs in 1-3% of men aged 65 or more with an associated mortality rate of 70-95%.[4]
- AAA tends to cluster in families, therefore affecting younger members of families in the absence of traditional acquired risk factors.
Gender
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm is 5 times more common in men than women.[5]
Race
- The disease tends to affect older Caucasian males and is 3.5 times more common in Caucasian men than in African-American men.[6]
Developed Countries
- In the US, the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm is 2-4% in the adult population.[7]
Developing Countries
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm is uncommon in individuals of African, African American, Asian and Hispanic heritage.[8]
