Introduction: Waist circumference is an important parameter for assessing cardiometabolic risk. Objective: Measure and compare two different anatomical references in order to check whether these two variables can be applied with the same objective in the determination of cardiometabolic risk. Methods: 80 apparently healthy men and 77 women (18-55 years) were selected. Anthropometric points were measured waist circumference (between the last rib and the edge of the iliac crest) and abdominal circumference (above the umbilical scar). Subsequently, they were submitted to the normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) and homogeneity test (Levene test). Then, the unpaired t-student test was applied and the results presented as mean ± standard deviation. The significance level adopted was (p<0.05) and analyzes were performed using SigmaPlot for Windows version 11.0, copyright© 2008 Systat Software, Inc. In addition, the difference and delta percentages of the respective groups were calculated. Results: The female group showed a significant difference between the anthropometric points (p=0.001), a percentage difference of 46.8% and a percentage delta of 53.2%. Men showed no statistical difference, a percentage difference of 1.25% and a percentage delta of 1.25%. Conclusion: It was observed that, in women, the different anthropometric measurements differ not only in the anatomical point, but also in their perimetry. Furthermore, large part of the sample evaluated would be classified incorrectly if the CAB was adopted as the cutoff point, instead of the CC, as demonstrated in the calculations of the percentage differences and also in the percentage delta.
