do we screen men for aortic aneurysm?????
yes, i think at 50 yrs (who ever smoked), not sure about age, lemme check
The USPSTF recommends one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in men aged 65 to 75 who have ever smoked.

The USPSTF makes no recommendation for or against screening for AAA in men aged 65 to 75 who have never smoked.

The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for AAA in women
why is USPTF against women's health????
because that is run by MEN
Who is US president ?
One time screening for 65-75 year old who have ever smoked
but cricoid
if this recommendation comes from CDC, it will include women, because CDC is run by an woman, who happnes to graduate from my university !
