Novel and Simple Ultrasonographic Methods for Estimating the Abdominal Visceral Fat Area

Table 1

Intrarater reliability and interrater reliability were assessed by measuring the distances A1 and A shown in Figure 1(a) by US.

Intrarater reliability			Interrater reliability
The distance A1	Investigator A	Investigator B	The distance A1	Correlation coefficient
ICC (1,1)	0.9817	0.9970	ICC (2,1)	0.9988
ICC (1,3)	0.9954	0.9992	ICC (2,3)	0.9987
The distance A	Investigator A	Investigator B	The distance A	Correlation coefficient
ICC (1,1)	0.9800	0.9971	ICC (2,1)	0.9988
ICC (1,3)	0.9949	0.9993	ICC (2,3)	0.9987

ICC: interclass correlation coefficient.
