Association of weight-adjusted waist index with motoric cognitive risk syndrome in Chinese adults Aged ≥ 60 years.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The primary objective of this study is to assess the association between the Weight-Adjusted Waist Index (WWI) and Motoric Cognitive Risk (MCR) syndrome in the elderly Chinese population.

Methods

A cross-sectional design was employed, drawing upon data from the 2015 wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). The analytical sample consisted of 7,108 Chinese participants aged 60 and over, excluding individuals with a dementia diagnosis or significant mobility limitations. Multivariable logistic regression was utilized to assess the link between WWI and MCR. Additionally, restricted cubic splines (RCS) were applied to test for non-linearity, and piecewise regression was employed to identify specific cut-off values.
