Multivariate analyses achieved via linear regression model including all parameters with P < 0.10 in the univariate analysis. Anterior–posterior (A-P) width denotes the average pancreatic width across subregions. Distance denotes the minimum perpendicular distance between anterior abdominal wall and pancreas. P values in bold denote statistical significance. BMI = body mass index; Coefficient = standardized regression coefficient.
