CDC information: Aortic aneurysm fact sheet. Accounts for more than 10,000 deaths every year in the United States

Risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm include family health history, from the Mayo Clinic 

The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in men ages 65 to 75 years who have ever smoked. Family health history of abdominal aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair can be used in informed decision making among nonsmokers (2014)
