Association between weight-adjusted-waist index and chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We aimed to investigate the potential association between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Design and methods

This research examined data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 1999 to 2020. CKD was defined as the low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or the existence of albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30mg/g). Low-eGFR was described as eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m². The associations between WWI with CKD, albuminuria, and low-eGFR were examined using generalized additive models and weighted multivariable logistic regression models. We also analyzed the associations of other obesity indicators with CKD, albuminuria, and low-eGFR, including body m
