What anthropometric parameters affect the linear dimensions of left liver lobe?

Abstract

The anthropometric parameters and linear ultrasound diameters of left liver lobe were taken in 212 adult healthy volunteers (90 men and 122 women). In men anthropometric parameters correlate with linear diameters of the left liver lobe much more than in women. Anteroposterior diameter of the left liver lobe increasingly correlates with anthropometric parameters both in men and women.The most significant correlations were detected both in men and women between anteroposterior diameter of the left liver lobe and body weight, body mass index and waist circumference
