Abstract

To assess the association of disc degeneration with all-cause mortality and with the severity and rate of progression of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) in older men. Men >50 years of age (n = 766) underwent lateral spine radiography and blood collection and were monitored prospectively. We assessed the association of disc degeneration with all-cause mortality (at 10 years), AAC severity (at baseline), and AAC progression (at 7.5 years). After adjustment for confounders, including AAC, the total overall grade score for AAC predicted all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.20 per SD increase [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.01-1.43]). The highest tertile of the total overall grade score was associated with higher mortality rates (39.3/1,000 person-years for a score of >8 versus 20.9/1,000 person-years for a score of 0-8; adjusted HR 1.47 [95% CI 1.05-2.06]). The odds of severe AAC (score of >5) increased with the total disc space narrowing score (adjusted HR 1.44 per SD [95% CI 1.11-1.87]). The highest tertile of the total disc space narrowing score was associated with higher odds of severe AAC (adjusted HR 2.42 versus the lowest tertile [95% CI 1.24-4.73]). The probability of long-term AAC stability decreased with an i...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
