Association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and myocardial infarction: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 1999-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) is a novel index related to obesity and has been associated with the risk and prognosis of several diseases. The aim of the study was to determine the association between WWI and myocardial infarction.

Methods

The study analyzed cross-sectional data from 31,535 participants derived from the 1999-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset. Multiple logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were conducted to assess both linear and nonlinear associations between WWI and myocardial infarction. Subgroup analyses and interaction tests were also performed.

Results

Among the 31,535 participants analyzed, 1,449 (4.82%) had experienced a myocardial infarction. The fully a
