Abstract: Introduction: Visceral obesity and dyslipidemia are the main characteristics of the metabolic syndrome. Objective: The relationship of abdominal sagittal diameter to thigh circumference ratio (SD/T) with anthropometric indexes of visceral obesity waist circumference (WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) was determined as well as their association with lipid levels. Material and methods: Triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (C), HDL and LDL levels, LDL/HDL, C/HDL as well as WC, WHR and SD/T were determined in 250 healthy women divided into 3 groups according to body fat distribution by their WHR values: 1stgr WHR<0.85; 2ndgr WHR (0.85-1.0) and 3rdgr WHR>1.0. Results: SD/T correlated significantly positively with TG and C (p<0.0001), LDL (p<0.006), LDL/HDL and C/HDL (p<0.0001), also with WC and WHR (p<0.0001), and negatively with HDL (p<0.001). WC and SD/T levels were significantly higher in the 3rd gr (125.16±15.26cm; 0.49±0.38) compared to the 2nd gr (109±14cm; 0.39±0.43) and the 1stgr (88±17cm; 0.32±0.37)(p<0.0001). TG levels in the 3rd gr (1.87±0.69ng/ml) were significantly higher compared to the 1st gr (1.03±0.42ng/ml) and the 2ndgr (1.69±0.92ng/ml) (p<0.0001). HDL in the 3 rd gr was (0.95±0.23ng/ml), significantly lower compared to the 1stgr. (1.24±0.27ng/ml) (p<0.001) and 2n dgr (1.07±0.39ng/ml) (p<0.028). LDL, C/HDL, LDL/HDL and C levels were also significantly higher in the 3rdgr. Conclusion: Visceral obesity was characterized with increased values of WHR, WC and SD/T, which were positively related to dyslipidemic profile. Positive relation of SD/T with atherogenic lipids, atherogenic indexes, WHR and WC, and negative relation with HDL, confirmed it as an important anthropometric diagnostic parameter of visceral obesity in metabolic syndrome.
