Association between life’s simple 7 (LS7) and arthritis: the mediating role of body fat percentage (BFP)
Elevated LS7 scores were associated with a lower likelihood of arthritis, with BFP serving as a mediating factor. Improving LS7 scores and managing body fat may help prevent arthritis. Due to the study's cross-sectional design, causality cannot be confirmed. Future research should use longitudinal studies to verify these findings and target high-risk groups.
