A obesidade visceral tem sido associada ao desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares e a alguns tipos de câncer. Nesse sentido, é crescente o interesse na avaliação da adiposidade intra-abdominal, de forma a se analisarem o risco de doenças e alterações metabólicas, como intolerância à glicose, hiperinsulinemia, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, dislipidemias e hipertensão arterial. Técnicas de imagem, como a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonância magnética, permitem a mensuração acurada e precisa da gordura visceral..Contudo, ambas são dispendiosas e inaplicáveis na prática clínica de rotina e nos estudos epidemiológicos..Parâmetros antropométricos surgem como uma opção para a avaliação da gordura visceral nessas situações, por serem inócuos, de fácil aplicação e de baixo custo. À luz dessas questões, este trabalho objetivou analisar criticamente estudos que avaliaram a pertinência em empregar parâmetros antropométricos como indicadores da gordura visceral. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico, no qual foram consultados periódicos nacionais e internacionais disponíveis nas seguintes bases científicas: Portal de periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Science Direct e Pubmed, abrangendo publicações entre os anos de 1947 e 2007. Procurou-se dar ênfase aos parâmetros antropométricos, como o índice de massa corporal, a circunferência da cintura, a relação cintura-quadril e o diâmetro abdominal sagital.
