A significant increase not only in the number of operations for AAA but also in the incidence of autopsy findings of AAA from 1.5 per cent to 4.5 per cent has been observed during the last 20 years. Ultrasound screening of the abdominal aorta in patients examined for other reasons revealed asymptomatic dilatation of the infrarenal aorta to more than 4 cm in 3.8 per cent of men older than 60 years. AAA should be actively searched for at every physical and ultrasound examination of the abdomen in men over 60 years of age.
在过去20年中，不仅腹主动脉瘤（AAA）手术数量显著增加，而且AAA尸检发现率也从1.5%上升至4.5%。对因其他原因接受检查的患者进行腹主动脉超声筛查发现，在60岁以上男性中，3.8%的人存在肾下腹主动脉无症状扩张，直径超过4厘米。对于60岁以上男性，每次腹部体格检查和超声检查时都应积极筛查AAA。
