After researching what may be the cause (other than genetics) I've come to the conclusion that a diet that lowers inflammation to blood vessels would logically be beneficial. So an anti-inflammatory diet. However, it seems that high insulin levels and insulin resistance would be implicated in the process as well and possibly iron overload.
My aorta aneurysm is only at 3.3 cm. I've been eating clean keto for two years and recently moved to a clean carnivore diet. I've so been avoiding refined sugar, carbs and plant oils for years all of which are inflammatory. I was first diagnosed in 2013 and retested recently. I'm still at 3.3 cm. I'm 75 years of age. I suggest looking into the keto diet and/or carnivore diets. It may also help to supplement with a food derived K2 supplement sourced from natto. I take between 200 to 400 mcg. a day.

STEVEN,Melatonin may be additive to your current regimen in trying to help your Aortic Aneurysm based on this study :
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jpi.12661
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' Our study is the first to report that melatonin exerts therapeutic effects against TAAD by reducing oxidative stress and VSMC loss via activation of SIRT1 signaling in a receptor-dependent manner, thus suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for TAAD. '
And this study :
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28478022/
Here is a relevant quote from the study :
' On the one hand, MMP-2, MMP-9, tumor necrosis factor-α, and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expressions were increased in the vehicle-treated AAA group. On the other hand, melatonin treatment reversed all of these biochemical indices and histopathologic alterations. '
These are both animal studies, but melatonin has a proven safety profile in humans at very high dosing.
