Abstract
The marked differences in prevalence and rupture risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm between men and women suggest gender to be of importance for both aneurysm development and progression. To study the amount and composition of collagen in men and women is of great importance for the understanding of the degenerative process occurring in aneurysms in both sexes and how it potentially differs, in regards to the increased rupture rate observed in women.
