Evaluating the weight-adjusted waist index as a predictive tool for sarcopenia and mortality risk

open access: yesEating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity
The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel anthropometric measure. WWI is linked to reduced muscle mass and strength; however, its efficacy for assessing sarcopenia and predicting adverse outcomes has yet to be validated. This study compared and examined the relationship between sarcopenia and WWI across different diagnostic criteria and aimed to
