Aims/Introduction  Obesity plays a central role in metabolic syndrome. Obesity indexes are important in clinical work. In the present study, we sought to determine the relationships between obesity indexes and metabolic risk factors.    Materials and Methods  We studied 11,568 participants over 35 years. Body mass index, waist circumference ( WC ), waist‐to‐height ratio ( WH tR) and waist‐to‐hip ratio were measured and calculated. To compare the predictive ability of the obesity indexes in diagnosing multiple metabolic risk factors, the areas under receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated, and cut‐off values were determined. A partial correlation coefficient was used to assess the intercorrelations between the obesity indexes, and to evaluate the correlations between each index and each metabolic risk factor.    Results  The partial correlation coefficient for  WH tR and  WC  was 0.947. In diagnosing multiple metabolic risk factors, the  WH tR areas under receiver operating characteristic curves was greater than that for the other obesity indexes in both sexes. The cut‐off point for the  WH tR was 0.50 in men and 0.52 in women. The cut‐off point for  WC  was 85 cm in men and 80 cm in women.    Conclusions   WH tR strongly correlates with  WC . The  WH tR might show the same predictive ability as the  WC  in diagnosing multiple metabolic risk factors.
