    Abstract
    Recent research suggests that abdominal height, measured as sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) in either supine or standing position, reflects visceral fat and is associated with cardiovascular (c-v) disease risk. Thus, adding SAD to other common indexes of adiposity (e.g. BMI, waist and hip girth, body fat %) may provide a better prediction of disease risk. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) the feasibility of using SAD as a measure of abdominal obesity in young and older adults, and 2) the degree of association between SAD and other anthropometric and traditional c-v risk variables.
