Weight-adjusted waist index and its relationship with systemic inflammatory Index and metabolic indices in overweight and obese individuals: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundObesity- characterized by excessive adiposity- is associated with various comorbidities, including metabolic, cardiovascular, and liver diseases. Chronic low-grade inflammation is a key factor in complications associated with obesity. This study aimed to investigate the associations between systemic inflammatory indices (SIIs) and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), alongside metabolic and liver function biomarkers in overweight and obese individuals.MethodThis cross-sectional study included 350 overweight or obese participants (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m²) from both genders. Weight, height, waist, hip, and neck circumferences were measured and BMI, WWI, and the ratios of waist to height (WHtR) and hip (WHR) were estimated. Fasting blood samples were taken to asses
