Aim: To correlate the sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) and waist circumference (WC) with metabolic syndrome-associated abnormalities in adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included onehundred twelve adults (M = 27, F = 85) aging 54.0 ± 11.2 yrs and average body mass index (BMI) of 30.5 ± 9.0 kg/m². The assessment included blood pressure, plasma and anthropometric measurements. Results: In both men and female, SAD and WC were associated positively with body fat% (r = 0.53 vs r = 0.55), uric acid (r = 0.45 vs r = 0.45), us-PCR (r = 0.50 vs r = 0.44), insulin (r = 0.89 vs r = 0.75), insulin resistance HOMA-IR (r = 0.86 vs r = 0.65), LDL-ox (r = 0.51 vs r = 0.28), GGT (r = 0.70 vs r = 0.61), and diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.35 vs r = 0.33), and negatively with insulin sensibility QUICKI (r = -0.89 vs r = -0.82) and total cholesterol/TG ratio (r = -0.40 vs r = -0.22). Glycemia, TG, and HDL-c were associated significantly only with SAD (r = 0.31; r = 39, r = -0.43, respectively). Conclusion: Though the SAD and WC were associated with numerous metabolic abnormalities, only SAD correlated with dyslipidemia (TG and HDL-c) and hyperglycemia (glycemia). Objetivo: Correlacionar el diámetro abdominal sagital (DAS) y la circunferencia de la cintura (CC) con las anomalías asociadas al síndrome metabólico en adultos. Métodos: Este estudio transversal incluyó a 112 adultos (H = 27, M = 85) con edad de 54,0 ± 11,2 años y un promedio de índice de masa corporal (IMC) de 30,5 ± 9,0 kg/m². La evaluación incluía la presión sanguínea y medidas plasmáticas y antropométricas. Resultados: Tanto en hombres como mujeres, DAS y CC se asociaban positivamente con el % grasa corporal (r = 0,53 vs r = 0,55), el ácido úrico (r = 0,45 vs r = 0,45), la us-PCR (r = 0,50 vs r = 0,44), la insulina (r = 0,89 vs r = 0,75), la resistencia a la insulina HOMA-IR (r = 0,86 vs r = 0,65), la LDL-ox (r = 0,51 vs r = 0,28), GGT (r = 0,70 vs r = 0,61), y la presión sanguínea diastólica (r = 0,35 vs r = 0,33), y negativamente con la sensibilidad a la insulina QUICKI (r = -0,89 vs r = -0,82) y el cociente colesterol total/TG (r = -0,40 vs r = -0,22). La glucemia, los TG, y la HDL-c se asociaban significativamente sólo con DAS (r = 0,31; r = 0,39, r = -0,43, respectivamente). Conclusión: Aunque DAS y CC se asociaban con numerosas anomalías metabólicas, sólo DAS se correlacionaba con la dislipemia (TG y HDL-c) y la hiperglucemia (glucemia).
