Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of mortality, emphasizing the importance of understanding factors that influence aortic size for better cardiovascular health assessments. This study investigates the correlation between the diameters of the ascending aorta at various levels and age-antropometric factors.. Utilizing ECG-gated contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans of the aorta, the research found that age significantly affects the diameters of the ascending aorta in healthy women. A direct relationship was observed between height and the average diameter of the aortic annulus level with a moderate correlation (ρ=+0.52, p=0.041). However, no significant correlations were found between body weight, body surface area, BMI, and the aortic diameters (p>0.05). Two significant multiple correlation-regression relationships were identified: one between age, body length, and the maximum diameter of the aorta (R=+0.79, p=0.01), and another between age, body length, and the diameter of the aorta at the upper part of the ascending aorta (R=+0.71, p=0.03). In conclusion, accounting for age and anthropometric factors is essential when assessing the size of the ascending aorta in women, which can improve clinical management of cardiovascular health.
