Outline of the Nova Scotia AAA study Outline of the Nova Scotia AAA study. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of AAA among the first-degree relatives of known AAA patients (referred here as “AAA probands”) in a well-characterized population in Nova Scotia, Canada. Secondly, we examined two comparison groups, the spouses of the AAA probands, and the first-degree relatives of the spouses with the assumption that they shared similar environmental exposures and cultural habits. In the present study we report the findings on the comparison between the two sibling groups, the siblings of the AAA probands and the siblings of the spouses. The spouse group is smaller than the proband group, because143 AAA probands had no spouses.
