Association between sagittal abdominal diameter-to-height ratio and all-cause mortality among adults in the United States: a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global health crisis of obesity has prompted a need for better indicators of abdominal obesity than body mass index, with sagittal abdominal diameter emerging as a potential candidate. Nonetheless, the association between sagittal abdominal diameter-to-height ratio (SADHtR) and mortality remains inadequately established. Our objective was to contribute novel evidence to this association.

Methods

This study encompassed 12,572 participants aged 18-80 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2016. Mortality data were tracked until December 31, 2019. Weighted multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were employed to evaluate the association between SADHtR and all-cause mortality, with subgroup analyses conducted for result robustnes
