Body composition measurements were obtained using cross sectional images. The subcutaneous fat distance is measured between the anterior skin at the midline and the line alba, while the visceral anterior-to-posterior distance is measured between the linea alba and the spine. These two distances were summed to calculate the total anterior-to-posterior distance.
