Abstract

A total of one hundred and twenty-six (126) apparently healthy Nigerians of both sexes from Southeast Nigeria were randomly selected and had their abdominal aortic diameters determine by ultrasonography. Abdominal aortic sizes were measured at the coeliac axis, renal artery and bifurcation, the results show that aortic diameters of females were generally smaller and more so significant (p < 0.001) at bifurcation.
