[Age and sex dependence of the diameter of the lumen of the ascending, thoracic and abdominal aorta].
The quantitative estimation of luminal diameter of 102 aortas (ascending, thoracic and abdominal aorta) from neonates to adults of 80 years showed a continuous increase with a marked change until the age of 15. From the 20th up to the 80th year we observed a further enlargement of the inner vessel-diameter of about 50%.
