Weight-adjusted waist index is positively and linearly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: findings from NHANES 1999-2018
WWI was positively and linearly associated with all-cause and CVD mortality in MASLD, whereas BMI did not accurately reflect mortality risk. WWI provided the optimal predictive value for mortality compared to traditional obesity indicators. These findings emphasize the potential use of WWI as a novel obesity indicator for mortality risk assessment, stratification, and prevention in MASLD.
