A positive relationship between weight-adjusted waist index and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a study on US adolescents.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver condition in children, underscoring the urgent need for non-invasive markers for early detection in this population.
Methods: We utilized survey data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020 regarding liver ultrasound transient elastography (LUTE) for the diagnosis of NAFLD (dependent variable), and used multiple logistic regression models to explore the association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and the prevalence of NAFLD in US adolescents. Smoothing curves and threshold effect analyses were used to assess the non-linear association between the independent variables and the dependent variable.
Association between weight-adjusted waist index and obstructive sleep apnea among adults in the United States: data from NHANES (2005-2008 and 2015-2018).
J Int Med Res
January 2025
Quanjiao County People's Hospital, Quanjiao County, Chuzhou, Anhui, China.
Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition often caused by obesity, which remains unclear.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey among adults in the United States (US) aged 20 to 65 years, covering the periods 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2018. The study included 8278 participants; we used multivariate logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses to explore the relationship between WWI and OSA.
Association between weight-adjusted waist index and Hashimoto's thyroiditis: insights from NHANES 2007-2012.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Thyroid Surgery, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University/Hunan Cancer Hospital, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Objective: While previous studies have explored the relationship between obesity and levels of thyroid autoantibodies, research using novel indicators such as weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the potential relationship between WWI and thyroid autoantibody levels, with the objective of improving our understanding of the links between central obesity and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles from 2007 to 2012.
Association between Life's Crucial 9 and overactive bladder: the mediating role of weight-adjusted-waist index.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Oncology Surgery, Fuzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China.
Background: Research suggests a potential connection between cardiovascular health, obesity, and overactive bladder (OAB). However, the mechanisms by which obesity influences the relationship between cardiovascular health and OAB remain unclear. Life's Crucial 9 (LC9) is a recently proposed method for assessing cardiovascular health, while the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel and more accurate measure of obesity.

Rehabilitation Medicine Center, Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, 610041, China.
Background: As cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality increase yearly, this study aimed to explore the potential of the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and its relation to long-term mortality in patients with CVD.
Methods: The diagnosis of CVD was based on standardized medical condition questionnaires that incorporated participants' self-reported physician diagnoses. WWI (cm/√kg) is a continuous variable and calculated as waist circumference (WC, cm) divided by square root of body weight (kg).
