Dirigir correspondencia a: Claudia Porto Sabino Pinho. Rua dos Palmares, s/n, Santo Amaro, Recife-PE, CEP: 50.100-060, Brasil. Fone: +55 81 99635-6615. Email: claudiasabinopinho@hotmail.com ABSTRACT Visceral fat is an important predictor of cardiometabolic risk, but evidence suggests that the ratio between visceral and subcutaneous fat (≥0.4) may be a more appropriate indicator to assess individual predisposition to accumulate visceral fat (VF) and predict cardiometabolic alterations. Objective: To evaluate the predisposition to accumulate VF and its association with cardiometabolic alterations. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 147 patients seen at a hospital in Northeast Brazil. VF and subcutaneous fat (SF) were evaluated by computed tomography and anthropometric and cardiometabolic risk factors were investigated. Results: The mean age was 52.7±13.2 years. Mean VF/SF ratio was high: 0.79±0.29 for men and 0.54±0.22 for women and was correlated with the glucose profile and coronary calcium score (CCA) (p< 0.05). VF was directly correlation with non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), TG/HDL ratio, glycemia, glycated hemoglobin and CCA (p< 0.05) and inversely with HDL-c (p= 0.001). Conclusions: A high predisposition to VF accumulation was observed in the population. VF/ SF ratio correlated with cardiometabolic alterations, but the concentration of isolated VF correlated with a higher number of parameters. In this investigation, VF alone was a more powerful predictor of cardiometabolic alterations than the ratio of VF/SF.
