“…This nding highlights the potential application value of WWI as a novel indicator in diabetes prevalence assessment. Although a study by Sun et al [15] in the Japanese population indicated that WWI did not show superior predictive power compared to traditional indicators, this does not diminish its potential as a promising alternative or complementary tool for further evaluation in different populations.…”

Purpose To explore how WWI correlates with prediabetes prevalence. Methods analyzing data from 13,688 individuals with prediabetes and 14,753 non-diabetic individuals, multifactorial logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between WWI and the incidence of prediabetes, considering variables such as age, gender, BMI, race, and various health markers, and compared with BMI, WC (Waist Circumference), and WHt (Waist-to-Height Ratio). Results The study found a direct and significant association between an increase in WWI and an increased prevalence of prediabetes, especially in the highest WWI quartile (Q4). Gender differences were also significant in the prevalence of prediabetes, and the evaluation effect of WWI was on par with WC and greater than that of BMI and WHt. Conclusion WWI has been proven to be a key indicator for assessing the prevalence of prediabetes, emphasizing the need for gender-specific approaches in health strategies.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is prevalent and significantly impacts global public health, with obesity being a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and mortality. Traditional metrics like body mass index (BMI) have limitations in assessing obesity-related risks. The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) has emerged as a novel obesity metric, this study aimed to evaluate the association of WWI with CVD and mortality in MetS patients. This study used data from 12,641 participants with MetS, derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 1999 to 2020. The WWI was calculated, and its association with CVD and mortality was assessed using multivariate logistic and Cox regression models. The study controlled for potential confounders and performed subgroup and sensitivity analyses to validate the robustness of the findings. The predictive performance of WWI was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Kaplan–Meier (KM) curves further were used to evaluate the associations between WWI and mortality of the MetS population. As WWI values escalated, there was a proportional rise in the risk of CVD and mortality in MetS. The fully adjusted continuous model revealed a 32.0% elevated likelihood of CVD development, a 69.5% increased probability of heart failure (HF), a 51.1% heightened risk for CVD mortality, and a 22.8% augmented risk for all-cause mortality with each one-unit increment in WWI. Comparing the highest to the lowest quartile of WWI, the top quartile exhibited a significantly increased risk of CVD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.883; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.276–2.633, p -value = 0.001), HF (OR = 2.909; 95% CI: 1.490–5.677, p -value = 0.002), CVD mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.088; 95% CI: 1.279–3.409, p -value = 0.003), and all-cause mortality (HR = 1.394; 95% CI: 1.070–1.816, p -value = 0.014) among individuals with MetS. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses substantiated the consistency and stability of these associations across various demographic groups. The ROC analysis demonstrated that WWI outperforms BMI in predicting adverse outcomes in MetS. The KM curves validated that higher WWI values was correlated with diminished survival rates in MetS population. The WWI served as a significant indicator for assessing the risk of CVD and mortality in the MetS population. This study recommended the regular assessment of WWI in MetS individuals for evaluating their risk of CVD and mortality, potentially enhancing preventive and treatment strategies for this patient population.
