The association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant health concern, particularly among patients with diabetes. The weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI), a novel metric that accounts for central obesity, has shown potential in predicting obesity-related health risks. This study aimed to evaluate the association of WWI with CVD and mortality in patients with diabetes. Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2020, WWI was calculated by dividing waist circumference (WC) by the square root of body weight. Multivariate logistic regression, multivariate Cox regression and restricted cubic spline curves were used to assess the association between WWI and the prevalence of CVD and mortality in patients with diabetes, subgroup and sensitivity analys
