  Obesity is associated with metabolic changes that predispose to atherosclerosis. The carotid thickness is currently considered a marker generalized atherosclerotic, especially early coronary artery disease. In this study it was evaluated the association between different obesity grades and anthropometric and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese young. 105 young obeses (74.3% women, age 23.3 ± 3.2) were divided into: overweight (OW; N=7); obesity grade I (O1; N=26); obesity grade II (O2; N=36); and obesity grade III (O3; N=36). All participants were interviewed for data collection and underwent anthropometric measurements (hip and cervical circumference). The body composition was analyzed using bioimpedance and ultrasound (US) to measure visceral, subcutaneous fat and carotid thickness. Kruskal-Walis test was used to compare all study groups; P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Ethics committee approval number: CAAE-80290617.7.0000.5147/2.475.428. All groups showed statistical difference for hip circumference, but O3 group showed higher hip and cervical circumference among all groups (OW: 111.7±4.3*, 35.0±1.3; O1: 115.7±5.7*, 38.9±3.3; O2: 125.6±5.2*, 39.3±3.0*; O3: 135.9 at ±7.5*, 42.8±4.5*; *p<0.05; unit: cm). Ultrasound-measured carotid thickening was the same for different obesity grades. Subcutaneous adipose tissue in O3 was greatest when compared all the groups (OW: 3.7±0.9; O1: 4.0±0.9; O2: 4.5±0.8; O3: 5.3±0.8*; *p<0.05; unit: cm). O3 group exhibited elevated thickness visceral adipose tissue in anterior wall of the aorta (AA) and the posterior wall of the aorta (PA) position (OW: 6.6±2.4, 8.9±1.7; O1: 6.8±1.8, 8.6±1.7; O2: 6.3±2.1, 8.3±2.1; O3: 8.5±2.8*, 10.6±2.8*; *p<0.05; unit: cm). Glycated hemoglobin and blood sugar level showed no difference between groups. Nevertheless, O3 was the only group that showed higher insulin levels (OW: 10.0±5.7; O1: 11.1±4.1; O2: 14.4±8.8; O3: 17.3±9.8*; *p<0.05; unit: UI/mL). The results suggest that adipose tissue thickness, both visceral and subcutaneous, measured by US methods are useful to determine, especially, obesity grade III.
