Prospective Study of Optimal Obesity Index Cutoffs for Predicting Development of Multiple Metabolic Risk Factors: The Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study

Background In this prospective cohort study, we estimated the risk of developing more than 1 metabolic risk factor, using different obesity indices. In addition, we investigated the relative usefulness of the obesity indices for predicting development of such risk factors and calculated optimal cutoffs for the obesity indices.
