    Aim: Obesity is a severe and chronic disease, which is currently increasing rapidly. The aim of this study was to reveal some parameters that can predict the risk of obesity and to create a new scale using these parameters.Material and Method: The demographic information of the study subjects was recorded, together with the anthropometric measurements of Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, height, body weight, waist circumference, and hip circumference were recorded.Results: Evaluation was made of 74 subjects, comprising 11 (14.9%) females and 63 (85.1%) males with a median age of 34 years (24-45). Mean body weight was measured as 77.3±12.46 kg, height as 174.3±8.86 cm, waist circumference as 84 (66-103) cm, hip circumference as 97 (83-121) cm, and BMI as 25.4±3.21 kg/m2. It was seen that the risk of developing obesity could increase when age and duration of work increased, with an increased frequency of eating outside the home, in the absence of regular exercise, and when the waist and hip circumference values increased. Regression analysis showed that body weight, waist, and hip circumference measurement values could be used to predict the obesity development risk. Finally, a valid and reliable scale called OBEZRISK was created that would easily predict the risk of obesity development in individuals.Conclusion: The study results showed that body weight, waist, and hip circumference measurement values could be used to predict the risk of obesity development in individuals. It was also concluded that the OBEZRISK scale could be used to predict the risk of developing obesity.
