Abtract Introduction: Obesity compromises the quality of life. However, few studies have investigated influence different anthropometric indicators on life this population. Objective: We aimed to correlate physical and mental components verify its association with in adults obesity. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m²]. The using SF-36 questionnaire, scores ranging from 0 (worst-case scenario) 100 (best scenario for outcome). used were BMI, waist circumference, waist/height ratio (WHR), lean fat body mass. For analysis, Spearman’s correlation crude adjusted linear regression sociodemographic variables used. Results: total 75 subjects (nfemales = 47; µage= 34.8 ± 7.1 years) included, their means 64.5 15.9 50.8 21.3 points, respectively. social functioning domain presented a strong positive (r 0.760) health domain, eight moderate correlations (0.400 ≤ r 0.699) found between domains questionnaire. functional capacity component negative WHR -0.402 -0.407, respectively). After adjustment, inversely associated (β -1.197; p 0.002). Conclusion: In obesity, important observed life, only indicator correlated outcome.
