Background. Measurements of anthropometric parameters are widely used in clinical practice as a convenient indexof intraabdominal fat. The paper is aimed to reveal correlations between ultrasound measurement of intraabdominaldepth (IAAT) and selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters in childhood.Methods and Results. In 69 obese children (38 boys,BMI 28.3±3.2, aged 12.8±0,52 and 31 girls withBMI 27.4±5.02,12.4±0.51), anthropometry, IAAT and laboratory tests were evaluated. Height, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences,10 skinfolds and blood pressure were measured. Blood glucose, uric acid, lipids, inzulín and C-peptidelevels were determined. Pearson’s partial correlation coefficients after adjusting for age were calculated. In boys,the following significant correlations of IAAT were revealed: with BMI (r=0.44, p
