Is weight-adjusted waist index more strongly associated with diabetes than body mass index and waist circumference?: Results from the database large community sample study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The uncertainty regarding the correlation between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and diabetes within the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) necessitates further exploration. As indicators of obesity, the differences in the intensity of association between WWI, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) with diabetes are worth exploring. This investigation is undertaken to elucidate the association between WWI and diabetes in the NHANES dataset and to compare the extent to which BMI, WC, and WWI were closely associated with diabetes. Then, choose an obesity index that is more strongly associated with diabetes.

Methods

A comprehensive cross-sectional stratified survey of 7,973 participants from the 2017-2020 NHANES was conducte
