US seemed to be the best alternative method for the assessment of intra-abdominal fat in obese women. Its diagnostic value could be optimized by an anthropometric measurement. Prospective studies are needed to establish CT and US cutoffs for defining visceral-fat levels related to elevated cardiovascular risk.
