Weight-Adjusted Waist Index Outperforms Conventional Adiposity Indices in Predicting All-Cause Mortality: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Comparative Evaluation of Five Obesity Indices for Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality Prediction in Prediabetes and Diabetes Population: A Prospective Cohort.

BACKGROUND In the US population, the association and predictive performance of obesity indices -- Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Shape Index (ABSI), Body Roundness Index (BRI), Waist Circumference (WC), and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) with mortality outcomes Cardiovascular Mortality (CVM) and All-Cause Mortality (ACM)) i...

Weight-adjusted waist index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease

Assessing both central adiposity and inflammatory burden may aid in identifying high-risk CKD patients and guide clinical strategies for improving long-term outcomes.

Weight-adjusted waist index and risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease: NHANES 2005–2018 analysis of 5,381 adults

Abstract Central adiposity is a key driver of cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet conventional obesity indices incompletely capture this risk. The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is an emerging anthropometric measure that integrates abdominal adiposity independent of body weight, but its prognost...

The Weight-Adjusted Waist Index as a Screening Indicator for Obesity-Related Bone Loss in American Men Aged 18-59: Evidence From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

This study explores the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and bone mineral density (BMD) in American men aged 18-59 years old and evaluates whether WWI can serve as a simple screening indicator for obesity-related bone loss. A total of 5,726 men from four cycles of the National Health and Nutri...

Comparative Discriminatory Ability of Body Mass Index, Percent Body Fat, Waist Circumference, and Waist-to-Height Ratio for Cardiometabolic Risk Among Korean Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2024.

Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, but which indicator best identifies elevated risk remains uncertain. This cross-sectional study compared the associations and discriminatory ability of body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (PBF), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) fo...

Body roundness index shows a short-term, sex-specific advantage over body mass index in predicting incident diabetes: a longitudinal prospective cohort study.
