So recommendation for intervention has changed. It use to be a hard 5.5 unless you had a disorder. Now it is more 5 to 5.5 and lower for any disorders. Plus it is height vs AA size if no genetic/family history these days too. This is what I have learned from the doctors and subject to change as they learn more of course.

Follow your doctor's advise , he knows your case and limitations. Keep your BP below 120/80 and your Cholesterol below 100. The reason for the low cholesterol is to prevent plaque forming in the aneurysm and weakening it.
