This study aims to develop formulas to predict visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area based on WC and BMI to determine the cut-off points of central obesity in Indonesia. We conducted a cross-sectional study among 32 middle-aged Indonesian men. VAT area was measured using an abdominal CT scan, whereas WC and BMI were assessed through anthropometric measurements. Linear regression analysis was performed to define the formulas to predict VAT area using WC and BMI. Next, the optimal cut-off values of WC and BMI were determined using ROC curve analysis. Strong positive correlations were found between WC and VAT as well as BMI and VAT (r = 0.78; r = 0.67, p &lt;0.001). The formula to predict VAT area from WC was \u2212182.65 + (3.35 \u00d7 <jats:italic>WC<\/jats:italic>), whereas the formula to predict VAT area from BMI was \u221257.22 + (6.95 \u00d7 <jats:italic>BMI<\/jats:italic>).
