Accelerated thoracic aortic aneurysm growth
upin humans1
Arterial age raises the risk of accelerated thoracic aortic aneurysm growth in humans.
“each 5-year increase in arterial age was associated with a 23% increase in the odds of accelerated TAA growth (95% CI, 1.085-1.394; P=0.001).”

Thoracic aortic aneurysm growth
upin humans1
Arterial age is associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm growth in humans (ß±SE: 0.004±0.001, P<0.0001).
“Older arterial age (ß±SE for 1 year: 0.004±0.001, P<0.0001) was independently associated with faster TAA growth”

In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.In 17 human thoracic aorta samples, elastin stiffness, straightness, and lamellar length decreased significantly with age in males (p < 0.05) but not females.
