Summary: This study found differences in the correlations between body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) in relation to cardiometabolic risk markers. Overall, SAD showed a stronger correlation with triglycerides (TG) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) compared to WC, and a stronger correlation with TG and DBP compared to BMI in most studies.

Summary: An estimation equation for abdominal subcutaneous fat area (SFA) was established using bioimpedance analysis (BIA) combined with sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD). The equation showed high accuracy in estimating SFA at different levels of obesity. This study provides a simple, reliable, and practical measurement for epidemiological studies and individual SFA measurement.

Summary: Klotho is an anti-aging gene that has been found to be associated with insulin resistance. This study investigated the relationship between sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) and serum Klotho concentration (SKC), and found that SAD can serve as an indicator of visceral fat (VF) and SKC.

Summary: Individuals with metabolic health issues are at greater risk of ischemic stroke, with hypertension being the most significant metabolic risk factor. Those who are metabolically healthy but overweight or obese have a similar risk of ischemic stroke as those with normal weight.

Summary: As children grow older, those with a higher risk of overweight also have a higher risk of HBP. Children who transition from normal weight to overweight have a higher risk of developing HBP.

Summary: SAD is lower in women than in men, across various demographic factors. However, the impact of race, household income on SAD differs between women and men.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of folic acid on obesity and high-sensitivity CRP levels. The results showed a significant inverse association between folic acid levels and obesity and inflammatory biomarkers, especially in the middle-aged group.

Summary: This study investigated the association between segmental body composition and metabolic diseases, specifically hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes, in U.S. adults. The results showed that increased upper limb lean body mass was associated with a lower risk of these metabolic diseases, while increased upper limb fat mass was associated with an increased risk. Significant differences were also found between genders.

Summary: This study suggests that outdoor air pollution exposure is significantly associated with the risk of obesity in the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population. Elderly individuals and women may be more vulnerable to air pollution exposure.

Summary: This study found a significant association between early pregnancy obesity and postpartum hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes risk. Adverse pregnancy outcomes were related to increased incidence of postpartum hypertension and hyperlipidemia. However, these adverse pregnancy outcomes only partially mediated the association between early pregnancy obesity and postpartum hypertension.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between the TyG index and modified TyG indices with new-onset hypertension and their predictive ability, stratified by sex. The results showed that TyG and TyG-body mass index were significantly associated with new-onset hypertension only in women, while TyG-waist circumference and TyG-waist-to-height ratio were significantly associated with new-onset hypertension in both men and women. Therefore, a sex-specific approach is required when using TyG and modified TyG indices to identify individuals at risk of incident hypertension.

Summary: This comprehensive review of human adipose tissue fails to mention the role of the endocannabinoid system in fat metabolism. The endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors, found in both white and brown fat, have been recognized as key players in adipose tissue metabolism. Rimonabant, an inverse agonist of cannabinoid receptor type 1, has shown promising effects as a therapeutic target for obesity, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, although its clinical use was discontinued due to neuropsychiatric side effects.

Summary: This study found that abdominal obesity may increase the risk of long-term recurrence after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, but has no effect on peri-procedural complications.

Summary: BMI does not provide information about the relative size of adipose tissue depots, while SAD is associated with visceral fat accumulation, which may contribute to the estimation of cardiometabolic risk. SADHtR is more strongly associated with intermediary predictors of cardiometabolic disease.
