SAD = sagittal abdominal diameter; WC = waist circumference; VAT = visceral adipose tissue; SAT = subcutaneous adipose tissue For models, the outcome variable is lipoprotein concentration or size; the primary predictor variable is each abdominal adiposity index (SAD, WC, VAT or SAT). Model I: adjusted models for age, pack years of smoking, and alcohol consumption. Model II: adjusted models for further BMI. Model II: BMI-adjusted models when SAD and WC were simultaneously included.
