Anthropometric Measurements and Correlations to Glucometabolic and Cardiovascular Risk in Obese Patients Undergoing Gastric Bypass Surgery

Figure 1

Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) measures abdominal fat. The distance between the examination couch and the height of the abdomen (cm) at level umbilical level is recorded in supine position. SAD cutoffs for an elevated cardiometabolic risk in men are ∼22 cm and in women ∼20 cm. Sagittal abdominal diameter as a screening tool in clinical research: cutoffs for cardiometabolic risk.
