Association between Life's Crucial 9 and overactive bladder: the mediating role of weight-adjusted-waist index.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Research suggests a potential connection between cardiovascular health, obesity, and overactive bladder (OAB). However, the mechanisms by which obesity influences the relationship between cardiovascular health and OAB remain unclear. Life's Crucial 9 (LC9) is a recently proposed method for assessing cardiovascular health, while the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel and more accurate measure of obesity. This study investigates the relationship between LC9 and OAB and assesses whether WWI moderates this relationship.

Methods

Data for this study came from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We used subgroup analyses, restricted cubic spline curves (RCS), and multivariate logistic regression to explore the relationship between LC9
