Not at this Age: There are many factors that can contribute to AAA such as smoking and genetics. However at age 25 there is virtually no risk. It is very common for thin people to feel a pulse in the belly....I can feel mine right now! :)

Avoid risks: While there may be a slightly higher hereditary risk for abdominal aortic aneurysms, most of the risk can be controlled, i.e. don't smoke, watch your blood pressure, keep your cholesterol and fat levels under control, exercise and watch your weight.
