Why do more men then woman have aortic aneurysms?
More men than women have aortic aneurysms primarily due to biological and lifestyle factors. Men generally have higher rates of hypertension, smoking, and other cardiovascular risk factors that contribute to the development of aneurysms.

Age and genetic predispositions also contribute to the disparity.
