Obesity and CAA. CAA was measured as the average cross-sectional plaque area of nine sections of coronary artery: three from the left anterior descending, three from the left circumflex, and three from the right coronary artery. Central obesity was estimated by the subscapular:triceps skinfold thickness. Whole body obesity was estimated by the Ponderosity Index (PI): BW (g): body length (pubic symphysis to suprasternal notch [cm]). [Adapted from Shively et al., 1987.]
