PURPOSEObesity, particularly visceral obesity, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, cardiovascular risk should be determined by evaluating visceral fat tissue not only in obese individuals but also in non-obese individuals. We aimed to evaluate the comparison of visceral fat tissue measurement methods with computed tomography (CT).MATERIALS AND METHODSOne hundred four participants, 19 to 58 years of age (21 males, 83 females) were enrolled in this study. Participants underwent anthropometric evaluation, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), ultrasonography (US), and CT examinations on the same day.RESULTSThe mean body mass index (BMI) was 31.2 +/- 8.7 kg/m(2) (73 individuals [70.2%] had BMI and 31 individuals [29.8%] had BMI
