Abstract
WHR proved to be an appropriate and effective predictor of overweight and obesity in children between 6 and 14 years. Cut-offs points of WHR that identify obesity are: 0.51 in males and 0.50 in girls. For the overweight, cut-offs range between 0.47 and 0.48 depending on sex and the criterion variable.
