Association of weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) with overactive bladder (OAB): a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2005-2018.

ABSTRACT: The overactive bladder (OAB) is associated with obesity and inflammation. The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) has emerged as a novel and more accurate measure of obesity compared to traditional indices, while the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) quantifies the inflammatory potential of one's diet. However, the relationship between WWI, DII, and OAB remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the association between WWI and OAB and to determine whether this relationship is mediated by dietary inflammation. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018, comprising 10,176 participants, were analyzed in this study. The association between WWI and OAB was examined using multivariate logistic regression models, smooth curve fitting, and subgrou
