Article Abstract
Background: The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a new measure of obesity, and this study aimed to determine the association between the WWI and stroke.
Methods: Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2020 dataset, cross-sectional data from 23,389 participants were analysed. The correlation between the WWI and stroke was investigated through multivariate logistic regression and smoothing curve fitting. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were also carried out.
Results: The research involved 23,389 participants, of whom 893 (3.82%) had a stroke. The fully adjusted model revealed a positive correlation between the WWI and stroke [1.25 (1.05, 1.48)]. Individuals who were in the highest quartile of WWI exhibited a 62% higher likelihood of experiencing a stroke than those in the lowest quartile [1.62 (1.06, 2.48)]. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests revealed that this positive correlation was similar in different population settings (all P for interaction > 0.05).
Conclusion: A higher WWI was associated with a higher prevalence of stroke. The results of this study underscore the value of the WWI in stroke prevention and management.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is closely associated with stroke risk. The triglyceride glucose-weight-adjusted waist index (TyG-WWI) is a novel biomarker for IR estimation. However, the relationship between the TyG-WWI index and stroke risk in the general population remains unexplored.

Background: The waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist divided by height(WHT.5R), and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) are four anthropometric indices evaluating obesity, but the association with cardiovascular diseases in diabetic population remain unclear.
Methods: We extracted data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES1999-2016),and 7000 patients with diabetes were eligible.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia as a modifiable risk factor for chronic non-communicable diseases has become a worldwide concern. We aim to explore different anthropometric measures as predictors of dyslipidemia using various machine learning methods.
Method: From the baseline of the Mashhad Stroke and Heart Atherosclerotic Disorder (MASHAD) study, a total of 9,640 participants were included in the analysis.

The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) is a novel anthropometric measure designed to better reflect central obesity than traditional indices such as body mass index and waist circumference (WC). This study examined the prospective association between WWI and cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) and evaluated its predictive utility. We included 3,348 participants (mean age 63 years; 45.
