The aim of the study was to assess the relation between the waist to hips ratio (WHR) and the distribution of adipose tissue in visceral or subcutaneous site through the use of CAT. Results are expressed as the ratio of visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area (VSR). A total of 61 patients were randomly selected for inclusion in the study. Contrary to normal weight subjects, obese patients did not reveal significant correlations between the two ratios. Following multi-variant analysis in normal weight subjects, WHR appeared to be influenced by sex, BMI and VSR. In patients with prevalently visceral adiposity WHR was determined by sex and VSR, whereas in patients with prevalently subcutaneous adiposity it was influenced by BMI alone. In conclusion, the significant correlations between WHR and tomographic indices of adipose tissue distribution reported in the literature are not present in all types of patient, and in particular are not found in obese patients and normal weight subjects with prevalently subcutaneous adiposity.
