dc.description.abstractAim: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is uncommon in people. Male gender and smoking are the most important risk factors. AAA is a condition that may be fatal when diagnosis is delayed This study aimed to emphasize the necessity for screening due to four fatal cases with abdominal aortic aneurysm in a genatric population. Material and Method The study included 320 patients from a nursing home and an emergency department The diameters of abdominal aortas were measured and assessed far risk factors. Results: Of the patients, 232 (72.5% were male and the mean age was 75.65 +/- 7.76 (range: 62-95 years). Hypertension was the most frequent risk factor determined. Mean aortic diameter was found as 18.87 +/- 2.74 mm (range 15-26 mm) No significant associations were detected among risk factors, age groups, and aortic diameter Four cases with abdominal aortic aneurysm died. Discussion AM is the most frequently seen aneurysm among true aneurysms. Major risk factors for AAA include male gender. smoking history. and age >65 years. In advanced ages, particularly in men, screening for AAA reduced deaths caused by rupture. The patients should be assessed for surgical intervention by Taking risk factors into consideration. Large-scale screening studies can reduce risk for mortality.en_US
