One hundred eighty healthy subjects (90 men, 90 women; age range: 55 to 80 years) with no known cardiovascular disease were studied by ultrasonography. In each, the following measurements were obtained: the caliber and length of the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava, and the caliber of the common iliac arteries and veins. The mean length of the inferior vena cava was found to be 95.2 mm, its mean caliber 18.4 mm. The mean length of the aorta was 83.1 mm, and its mean caliber was 15.9 mm. The mean caliber of the common iliac veins was 9.7 mm, while that of the common iliac arteries was 8.8 mm. There was a statistically significant relationship between vessel caliber and subject age; furthermore, the vessel caliber of the male subjects was found to be larger than that of the females by a statistically significant margin. There was also a statistically significant correlation between subject height and the length of the two major vessels; however, no statistically significant correlations were noted between the measured parameters and body weight. In comparison with the values reported in the standard textbooks and by contemporary cadaveric studies, our measurements of mean aortic and vena caval calibers were significantly lower. When the two side were compared, a statistically significant difference was noted only in the iliac arteries, where the right was larger than the left.
对180名无已知心血管疾病的健康受试者（90名男性，90名女性；年龄范围：55至80岁）进行了超声检查。对每位受试者测量了以下指标：腹主动脉和下腔静脉的管径及长度，以及髂总动静脉的管径。发现下腔静脉的平均长度为95.2毫米，平均管径为18.4毫米。主动脉的平均长度为83.1毫米，平均管径为15.9毫米。髂总静脉的平均管径为9.7毫米，而髂总动脉的平均管径为8.8毫米。血管管径与受试者年龄之间存在统计学显著关系；此外，发现男性受试者的血管管径在统计学上显著大于女性。受试者身高与两条主要血管的长度之间也存在统计学显著相关性；然而，在所测量的参数与体重之间未发现统计学显著相关性。与标准教科书和当代尸体研究报告的值相比，我们对主动脉和腔静脉平均管径的测量值显著更低。当比较两侧时，仅在髂动脉发现有统计学显著差异，右侧大于左侧。
