Weight-adjusted-waist index: an innovative indicator of breast cancer hazard
The current investigation revealed a meaningful association between the prevalence of BC and WWI, which was superior to other obesity indicators, albeit one that was more complex than the positive relationship initially derived. There existed a turning point for BC prevalence at WWI of approximately 12 cm/√kg. Nevertheless, maintaining WWI in the lower range is critical for preventing and administering BC and minimizing disease risk.
