Abstract:Objectives
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) run lower risk for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA, aortic diameter ≥ 30 mm) and its complications. We aimed to evaluate associations between disturbances in glucose metabolism and arterial stiffness, AAA, and abdominal aortic diameter in 65-year-old men.
Methods
Forty-eight 65-year-old men with screening-detected AAA and 115 men with normal abdominal aortic diameter underwent examination of glucose … Show more
