Body Habitus, Normal Abdominal Aortic Diameter

Abstract

Abdominal aortic diameters were determined at the level of celiac axis, renal artery and bifurcation with the use of abdominal ultrasound. A total of one hundred and twenty-six (126) healthy Nigerians of both sexes were randomly selected for this study. The diameter figures for females are generally smaller, while the weight of the subjects show a significant positive correlation up to the 86-95kg weight range, we however note no correlation between subject height and aortic diameters.
