Both coronary artery and peripheral artery disease are representative atherosclerotic diseases that are positively associated with presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Diabetes mellitus, which is one of major risk factors of coronary artery and peripheral artery diseases, however, has been curiously suggested to be negatively associated with AAA, despite the positive associations of coronary artery and peripheral artery diseases with presence of AAA. In the present article, we overviewed epidemiologic evidence (meta-analyses) regarding the associations of diabetes mellitus with presence, expansion, and rupture of AAA through a systematic literature search. Our exhaustive search identified seven meta-analyses. Main results of almost all meta-analyses (except for the two earliest ones) apparently found that diabetes mellitus is negatively associated with presence, expansion, and rupture of AAA.
