Although BMI is a commonly used measure of obesity in clinical settings, it cannot delineate fat-free mass from adipose tissue [2] . Indeed, emerging evidence shows that visceral adiposity, independent of BMI, is associated with a high risk of critical illness in patients with COVID-19 [4, 5] . The use of the sagittal image of chest computed tomography (done routinely to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia) to assess visceral adiposity [7, 8] , along with BMI, is a promising strategy to identify NWO individuals in clinical settings.
