Abstract Background Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) is an anthropometric index associated with visceral adiposity. It remains unclear whether SAD and its socio-economic correlates differ in women and men, which limits the epidemiological and clinical applications of the SAD measurement. The aims of this study are to examine the sex differences in SAD and its socio-economic correlates.Methods A complex stratified multistage clustered sampling design was used to select 6,975 men and 7,079 women aged 18 years or more from the National Health Nutrition and Examination Survey 2011-2016, representative of the US civilian non-institutionalized population. SAD was measured in accordance to the standard protocols using a two-arm abdominal caliper. The sex differences in SAD and its socio-economic correlates were evaluated by performing weighted independent t tests and weighted multiple regression. Results SAD was lower in women than in men in the entire sample, as well as in all the subgroups characterized by age, race, birth place, household income, and body mass index except for non-Hispanic blacks and those with household income < $20,000. Adjusted for other characteristics, age, birth place, household income, and body mass index were associated with SAD in both women and men. Black women were associated with higher SAD then white women (p<.0001), and Hispanic and Asian men were associated with lower SAD than white men (both p<.01). Women born in other countries were more likely to have lower SAD than women born in the US (p<.0001), and so were men (p=.0118). Both women and men with a household income of <$75,000 had higher SAD than those with an income of over $75,000. The associations of age, race, and household income with SAD differed in women and men.Conclusion SAD is lower in women than in men, in the general population as well as in the most socio-economic subgroups. While socio-economic correlates of SAD are similar in women and men, the associations of age, race, and household income with SAD vary across sex.

Diabetes Outcome

Background: A weight-based adiposity indicator (body mass index; BMI, kg/m 2 ) is often reported for adults. Indicators based on sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) or waist circumference have also identified cardiometabolic risk. Aim: Compare SAD/height ratio (SADHtR) or waist/height ratio (WHtR) with BMI for identifying risks in a representative sample of non-elderly adults without diagnosed diabetes. Outcome dysfunctions were Dysglycemia (glycated hemoglobin ≥5.7%), HyperNonHDLc (non-HDL-cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL or taking cholesterol meds), Hypertension (SBP ≥140 or DBP ≥90 or taking blood-pressure meds) and HyperALT (alanine transaminase ≥75 th %ile [sex-specific p75]). Methods: Non-pregnant adults (ages 20-64 y; N=3,071) in the 2011-2012 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided conventional anthropometry and supine SAD (by sliding - beam caliper). Sample weighting permitted estimation of population characteristics, including odds ratios (ORs) associated with each adiposity indicator (logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex and ancestry). For each dysfunction, we compared the ORs for 3 indicators after rescaling them to the indicator’s sex-specific, interquartile range. Results: The population distributions (mean; p25, p75) of indicators among men were: SADHtR (0.129; 0.112, 0.144), WHtR (0.564; 0.505, 0.613), and BMI (28.2; 24.2, 31.0). Among women they were: SADHtR (0.131; 0.112, 0.148), WHtR (0.580; 0.510, 0.636), and BMI (28.3; 23.4, 31.7). Dysfunction prevalence ranged from 21.9% (Dysglycemia in women) to 42.4% (HyperNonHDLc in men). To identify HyperNonHDLc, Hypertension and HyperALT (but not Dysglycemia), the ORs were highest for SADHtR and lowest for BMI. When SADHtR entered models simultaneously with BMI, the ORs associated with BMI no longer contributed to identification of HyperNonHDLc, Hypertension, or HyperALT (Figure). Conclusions: Among US adults, the SADHtR provides low-cost estimation of cardiometabolic risk independently of BMI.
