Objective: Obesity is a worldwide disease in which visceral obesity is related to increased cardiometabolic risk. The aim of this study was to estimate the associative capacity of visceral adiposity index and dysfunctional adiposity index on cardiometabolic risk in the working population. Material and methods: Descriptive study of 418,343 workers during health surveillance in their companies. VAI and DAI were calculated according to their equations and cardiometabolic risk with arterial hypertension, diabetes and atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid triad, diabesity, and hypertriglyceridemic waist. Mean VAI and DAI values and associative capacity with ROC curves were calculated. The statistical program used SPSS 27.0, with statistical significance p<0.05. Results: Percentage values of all parameters and assessment methods used are higher in men than in women (p<0.0001) Mean values of VAI are higher than those of DAI and higher in men (p<0.0001). VAI and DAI show high associative capacity for atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid triad and hypertriglyceridemic waist in both sexes with the area under the AUC curve>0.9 in all cases. In diabesity only AUC>0.8 values are obtained for VAI and for diabetes, both VAI and DAI only in women exceed AUC>0.8, in men In HT, VAI, and DAI do not show associative capacity in men or in women (AUC<0.7). Conclusions: Cardiometabolic risk estimation is different in men and women and varies according to the method used. Adiposity indices VAI and DAI show high associative capacity in cardiometabolic risk, especially in atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid triad, and hypertriglyceridemic waist in both sexes.
