The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends a single screening<unk>  ultrasound for<unk>  in males age 65 to 75 years who have a history of smoking. Among this group who does not smoke, screening may be selective. It is unclear if screening is useful in women who have smoked and the USPSTF recommend against screening in women who have never smoked. In the United Kingdom the NHS<unk>  Screening Programme invites men in England for screening during the year they turn 65. Men over 65 can contact the programme to arrange to be screened. In Sweden one time screening is recommended in all males over 65 years of age. This has been found to decrease the risk of death from<unk>  by 42% with a number needed to screen of just over 200. In those with a close relative diagnosed with an<unk><unk> , Swedish guidelines recommend an ultrasound at around 60 years of age. Australia has no guideline on screening. Repeat ultrasounds should be carried out in those who have an<unk>  size greater than 3.0 cm. In those whose aorta is between 3.0 and 3.9 cm this should be every three years, if between 4.0 and 4.4 cm every two years, and if between 4.5 and 5.4 cm every year.
