The association of visceral adiposity index with the risk of kidney stone and kidney stone recurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Our aim in this study was primarily to assess the relationship between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and the risk of kidney stones and kidney stone recurrence in US adults.

Methods

We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2014 for our analysis. VAI was calculated from waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). Kidney stones and recurrence of kidney stones were obtained from questionnaire interview data. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the correlation between VAI and the risk of kidney stone and kidney stone recurrence. In addition, we performed subgroup analysis, interaction tests, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis
