Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) is an easy and cheap antropometry that can be a parameter of metabolic syndrome like hyperglicemia which is caused by obesity.

Each subject was taken its BMI, WHR and blood samples to know the FGR after fasting for 10-12 hours. Datas were analyzed and tested with Pearson Correlation test by using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) 17.0 for Windows.

Results: The result of Pearson Correlation Test between BMI and FGR showed P > 0.05, P = 0.785; r = - 0.052. Meanwhile, WHCR and FGR showed P > 0.05, P = 0.874; r = 0.030.

Conclusions: We can conclude from this research that WHCR has a higher validity rate than BMI against FGR.
