Abstract
Alternative anthropometric indexes were compared for their ability to discriminate between 35 Atlanta men with sudden coronary death and 81 male controls. With or without adjustments for age, race, and body mass index, the abdominal diameter index (supine sagittal abdominal diameter divided by midthigh circumference) was associated with sudden coronary death more strongly than the waist/hip ratio or waist/thigh ratio of circumferences.Entities:
