Objective: Datasets regarding patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have almost universally, been restricted to single geographic regions. We aimed to obtain data oil the risk factor profile and cardiovascular (CV) co-morbidity among multi-ethnic patients with known AAA in the global REACH (REduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health) Registry.Methods: The REACH Registry is ail international, prospective, observational out-patient registry enrolling out-patients 2:45 years of age with established corollary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD) or peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or with at least three atherothrombotic risk factors. This report includes observations pertaining to 68,236 out-patients enrolled in 44 countries.Main outcome measures: Gender, ethnic origin, CV risk factors, established atherosclerotic disease (CAD, CVD and PAD) at baseline, and CV outcome events at 1-year were compared in patients with and without AAA.Results: Ail AAA was reported in 1722 (2.5%) of 68,236 out-patients enrolled in the REACH Registry. Older age (73 +/- 8 vs 68 +/- 10, P < .0001), male gender (81% vs 63%, P < .0001), White ethnicity (79% vs 67%, P
