Correlation of the weight-adjusted waist circumference index with Klotho in the United States: differences by sex. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The relationship between the weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and the senescence-inhibitory protein Klotho remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between WWI and soluble Klotho (s-Klotho). This study analyzed 9,928 participants based on the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey ...
