Association between weight-adjusted waist circumference index and myocardial infarction: results from the national health and nutrition examination survey, 1999–2014

The findings suggest that there is a positive and non-linear association between WWI and the incidence of myocardial infarction. We recommend incorporating WWI into routine physical examinations and cardiovascular risk screening as an early warning mechanism. This may facilitate early identification of high-risk individuals and promote earlier preventive interventions.
