Melancholia or melancholy (from Greek: µέλαινα χολή melaina chole, meaning black bile) is a concept found throughout ancient, medieval and premodern medicine in Europe that describes a condition characterized by markedly depressed mood, bodily complaints, and sometimes hallucinations and delusions.
Melancholy was regarded as one of the four temperaments matching the four humours. Until the 18th century, doctors and other scholars classified melancholic conditions as such by their perceived common cause – an excess of a notional fluid known as “black bile”, which was commonly linked to the spleen.
Between the late 18th and late 19th centuries, melancholia was a common medical diagnosis, and modern concepts of depression as a mood disorder eventually arose from this historical context.
Related terms used in historical medicine include lugubriousness (from Latin lugere: “to mourn”), moroseness (from Latin morosus: “self-will or fastidious habit”), wistfulness (from a blend of “wishful” and the obsolete English wistly, meaning “intently”), and saturnineness (from Latin Saturninus: “of the planet Saturn).

Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) is a measure of visceral obesity, the amount of fat in the gut region. SAD is the distance from the small of the back to the upper abdomen. SAD may be measured when standing or supine. SAD may be measured at any point from the narrowest point between the last rib and the iliac crests to the midpoint of the iliac crests.
SAD is a strong predictor of coronary disease, with higher values indicating increased risk independent of BMI.
For persons of normal BMI, SAD should be under 25 centimetres (9.8 in). The amount this measure exceeds 30 centimetres (12 in) correlates to increased cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance. SAD measure of men in their 40s, greater than 25 cm, also predicts significantly higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease 30 years later. An article in Annals of Neurology links visceral fat to lower brain volume.
