  1. Age increases indexed aorta volume in humans (25 to 41 to 62 cm3/m2).

    “this indexed aorta volume was the sole variable: (i) exhibiting a stepwise increase from young (median: 25 cm3/m2 [interquartile range: 20-28 cm3/m2]), to middle-aged (41 [30-48] cm3/m2, p < 0.001 vs. Young), and older (62 [44-70] cm3/m2, p < 0.001 vs. middle-age) adults”

  1. Indexed aorta volume predicts carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in humans.

    “Indexed aorta volume was also a multivariate predictor of PWV but in association with SUV-SD and hypertension.”
