Summary: This study aimed to determine the predictive ability of the Conicity-index (C-index) for all-cause mortality among non-cancer Chinese older people. The results showed a clear dose-response relationship between C-index and all-cause mortality, indicating that C-index is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in this population.

Summary: Changes in body weight in older adults may be associated with increased mortality risk. Significant weight loss of 5% or more is linked to higher all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality risk, while weight gain does not increase mortality risk.

Summary: This study investigated the association between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in southern China, and found that higher WWI levels were associated with increased risk of death. The findings suggest that WWI may serve as a simple and effective anthropometric index in clinical practice.

Summary: This study investigated the association between weight-to-weight index (WWI) and cognitive function among elderly individuals in the United States, finding that higher WWI was associated with poorer cognitive function.

Summary: There is insufficient evidence on the impact of abdominal obesity on mortality in older adults. This study aimed to analyze the 10-year impact of abdominal obesity on all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality in older adults using different diagnostic criteria. The study found that an increased waist-to-hip ratio was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, while an increased waist circumference was a risk factor for higher cardiovascular disease mortality in older adults.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and the incidence of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) among participants in rural areas of China. A total of 9205 non-diabetic individuals were included at baseline, and followed up for a median of 4.6 years. The study found that increasing WWI was significantly associated with a higher incidence of newly diagnosed T2D among rural Chinese adults.

Summary: This study examined the association between Weight-adjusted Waist Index (WWI) and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the US. A total of 26,882 individuals from the NHANES were included. Higher WWI levels were found to be independently associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause death.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and infertility. The results showed that higher WWI was associated with a higher prevalence of infertility, and this association was stronger than other markers of obesity. WWI could be used as a potential indicator to identify women at risk of infertility.

Summary: This study examined the association between obesity indices and hospitalization rates in Iranian adults. Obese individuals and those with high waist circumference had higher rates of hospitalization, particularly in women, suggesting that obesity prevention programs may reduce hospitalizations.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and arterial stiffness (AS) in hypertensive patients. The results demonstrate a significant dose-dependent association between WWI and baPWV, particularly in patients with higher blood pressure or lower BMI. The findings suggest that, in addition to blood pressure management, WWI may also play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of AS.

Summary: This study investigated the association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index (WWI) and fractures among adults. Higher WWI was found to be associated with an increased prevalence of hip fracture and spine fracture, but not wrist fracture.

Summary: This study examines the associations of weight change and waist circumference changes with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among older adults. The results suggest that weight loss is associated with an increased risk of mortality, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other life-limiting conditions.

Summary: This study provides evidence that an elevated Weight-Adjusted-Waist Index (WWI) is correlated with an increased risk of hyperuricemia in the adult population of the United States. These results suggest that WWI may serve as a viable anthropometric indicator for predicting hyperuricemia.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the association between BMI and mortality in a contemporary US adult population. Through a retrospective cohort study using data from the National Health Interview Study (NHIS) from 1999-2018, it was found that the risk of all-cause mortality was similar across different BMI categories in this 21st century US adult sample.
