Background: The accumulation of fat in visceral and posterior subcutaneous adipose tissue compartments is highly correlated with the metabolic abnormalities that contribute to increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.Aim: To determine which of waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHIR) and body mass index (BMI) was the best predictor of intraperitoneal and posterior subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue mass in men.Methods: We studied 59 free-living men with a wide range of BMI. WC, WHIR and BMI were determined using standard methods. Intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal, anterior subcutaneous and posterior subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue masses (IPATM, RPATM, ASAATM and PSAATM, respectively) were quantified using magnetic resonance imaging.Results: In univariate regression analysis, WC, WHIR and BMI were all significantly and positively correlated (all p
