Association between weight-adjusted waist index and overactive bladder: a cross-sectional study based on 2009-2018 NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel obesity indicator that appears to outperform the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) in assessing both overweight and obesity. Studies have demonstrated the relationship between obesity and overactive bladder (OAB). The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between WWI and OAB.

Methods

This research utilizes data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 2009 and 2018. Each participant's WWI was calculated as their WC in centimeters by the square root of weight in kilograms. The Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire is used to determine whether a participant has OAB. Multivariate logistic regression and generalized additive mode
