INTRODUCTION: anthropometric indicators are easy to apply and can help identify the accumulation of visceral fat, which favors the occurrence of cardiovascular events, increasing morbidity and mortality from chronic degenerative diseases. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the accuracy of anthropometric indicators for the location of abdominal fat in determining visceral adiposity. SUBJECTS/ METHODS: cross-sectional study conducted among patients attending outpatient, of both sexes, aged over 20 years. Evaluated: Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), waist-to- stature ratio (CER), conicity index (CI); Sagittal Abdominal Diameter (DAS); Coronal Diameter (DC); Mass Index (BMI), percentage of body fat (% BF); Visceral Adiposity (AV/AS) predicted by the formula , fasting glucose , total cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), Very Low Density lipoprotein (VLDL) and Triglycerides (TG). RESULTS: 129 patients were included, mean age 51, 06 + 14.02 years and a higher prevalence of adults (72,9%) and female (75,2%). CC 102,9 (+ 10,82 ), CI 2,08 (+ 0,13), and the AV/AS 1,03 (+ 0,16), showed high values with statistical significance among men, p. Copyright AULA MEDICA EDICIONES 2014. Published by AULA MEDICA.
