THRESHOLD VALUES OF SAGITTAL ABDOMINAL DIAMETER FOR THE DETECTION OF CARDIO-METABOLIC RISK FACTORS IN NORTHEASTERN MEXICO: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Threshold values of sagittal abdominal diameter for the detection of cardio-metabolic risk factors in Northeastern Mexico: a cross-sectional study

Background: The use of sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) has been proposed for screening cardio-metabolic risk factors; however, its accuracy can be influenced by the choice of thresholds values.Aim: To determine the SAD threshold values for cardio-metabolic risk factors in Mexican adults; to assess whether parallel and serial SAD testing can impro
