Weight-adjusted waist circumference index and chronic diseases as predictors of depression risk in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study with mediation analysis. [PDF]
ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the association between the weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and the risk of depression in U.S. adults, as well as the potential mediating roles of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease) in this relationship.MethodsData from 7,709 adults aged 20–80 years in the ...

Weight-adjusted waist circumference index with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in adult females: a cross-sectional, nationally representative study (NHANES 2017-2020). [PDF]
Obesity is detrimental to liver health. Weight-adjusted waist circumference (WWI) is a new indicator of obesity that is superior to body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in predicting obesity. There are limited studies on the relationship between Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MASLD) and WWI.

Application value of weight-adjusted waist circumference index and cardiometabolic index in hypertensive patients with albuminuria: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2020. [PDF]
The Weight-adjusted Waist Index (WWI) and Cardiometabolic Index (CMI) are novel metrics developed to evaluate visceral fat distribution and metabolic health. This study aimed to explore the associations between these indices and albuminuria in hypertensive patients.We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and ...

Graphical abstract summarizing the study design, main results and key findings Abstract Background and Aims Fatty liver disease (FLD) has been associated with excess mortality. Screening for hepatic steatosis (HS) in patients with metabolic dysfunction is therefore recommended by several guidelines, despite a paucity of evidence on the clinical ...
