Weight-adjusted waist index and lung health ‒ Uncovering a hidden link between central obesity and respiratory risk

QCQunqing ChenZhujiang Hospital LYLiang YangUniversity of Shanghai for Science and Technology YWYuanzhou WuZhujiang Hospital

Key Points

The aim is to explore the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index and lung health indicators.
Analyzed association of weight-adjusted waist index with lung function metrics.
Investigated the correlation between WWI and chronic respiratory disease risk.
Found that elevated WWI is linked to lower lung function levels.
Identified increased risk of chronic respiratory disease associated with higher WWI.

Abstract

elevated WWI is independently associated with reduced lung function and increased CRD risk. WWI may serve as an effective, simple indicator for identifying individuals with unrecognized respiratory risk in population health screenings.
