“…Although the AAWT diameter showed no significant differences between male and female healthy volunteers, male healthy volunteers had thicker AAWT diameters than their female counterparts. Similarly, carotid artery intima-media thickness has been reported to be thicker in healthy males than in healthy females as well [5]. The thicker AAWT in healthy males agrees with earlier findings that reported the abdominal aorta luminal diameter and wall thickness diameter to dilate for about 25-30% in healthy subjects especially in males [18] to compensate for wall stress built up in the abdominal aorta over time [19].…”

“…Similarly, plaques may begin to develop in the aortic intima-media complex, especially in adulthood and old age [4]. These changes in the wall of the abdominal aorta compromise the normal luminal dimension of the abdominal aorta and predispose individuals to some cardiovascular diseases [5]. Atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta is often associated with the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and Diabetes [6].…”

“…In the present study, only the thickness of IMT-bulb was measured. However, it might be that also the flow dynamics in the bifurcation could be a major player in risk assessment, since this characteristic of the carotid artery flow dynamics could be measured by ultrasound as well as by magnetic resonance imaging [18][19][20].…”

“…In comparison, Doppler ultrasonography measures the average blood flow velocity for the entire IA, which is less precise for IA studies. Human studies comparing both techniques show that WSS measured by Doppler ultrasonography is consistently smaller compared to CFD simulations [ 213 ].…”
