Article Synopsis
- Wall stress in the abdominal aorta (AA) is linked to the risk of rupture, influenced by factors like blood pressure and aortic size.
- In a study involving 30 healthy adults, researchers found that elderly males exhibited higher total wall stress and specific stress components compared to elderly females.
- The findings suggest that age and sex affect the isotropic and anisotropic properties of the aortic wall, potentially due to hormonal influences and fiber distribution changes over time.
