to assess the diagnostic criteria and propose cutoff points for waist circumference (WC), arm circumference (AC), leg circumference (LC) and waist/height ratio (WHR) for overweight prediction in adolescents.
a census with all individuals aged 13-19 years old (N=1,075) from the municipality of Caracol-PI, Brazil was carried out; overweight was defined as body mass index (BMI) above one z-score, according to the criterion of the World Health Organization.
the cutoff points (in centimeters) of WC, AC, LC and WHR for overweight prediction were, respectively, 76.4, 26.4, 34.0 and 0.460 in males, and 74.6, 27.0, 34.5 and 0.475 in females; the area under the ROC curve was above 0.70 (males) and 0.90 (females).
the anthropometric indicators assessed reached satisfactory diagnostic values for overweight prediction in adolescents from the Brazilian semi-arid region.
评估腰围（WC）、臂围（AC）、腿围（LC）和腰高比（WHR）的诊断标准，并提出用于预测青少年超重的界值点。
对巴西卡拉科尔 - 皮市所有13 - 19岁的个体（N = 1075）进行普查；根据世界卫生组织的标准，超重定义为体重指数（BMI）高于一个z分数。
用于预测超重的男性WC、AC、LC和WHR的界值点（厘米）分别为76.4、26.4、34.0和0.460，女性分别为74.6、27.0、34.5和0.475；ROC曲线下面积男性高于0.70，女性高于0.90。
所评估的人体测量指标在预测巴西半干旱地区青少年超重方面达到了令人满意的诊断价值。
