Research Progress on the Relationship between Weight-Adjusted-Waist Index and Diabetic Kidney Disease

本文综述了体重调整腰围指数(Weight-Adjusted-Waist Index, WWI)与糖尿病肾病(Diabetic Kidney Disease, DKD)的相关性研究进展。DKD是糖尿病常见的并发症，早期诊断和干预至关重要。WWI作为一种新的肥胖指标，主要关注与体重无关的腹部肥胖，在评估糖尿病患者发生DKD的风险中具有重要意义。研究表明，WWI与DKD的发生发展密切相关，可能通过多种机制影响DKD的进程。本文对WWI的计算方法、与DKD的相关性及其可能的机制进行了阐述，并对未来的研究方向进行了展望，旨在探索新的预测指标以提高DKD风险评估的准确性。This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). DKD is a common complication of diabetes, and early diagnosis and intervention are crucial. As a new obesity index, WWI mainly focuses on weight-independent abdominal obesity, which is of great significance in assessing the risk of DKD in diabetic patients. Studies have shown that WWI is closely related to the occurrence and development of DKD, and may affect the process of DKD through multiple mechanisms. In this paper, the calculation method, correlation with DKD and possible mechanisms of WWI are described, and future research directions are prospected, aiming to explore new predictors to improve the accuracy of DKD risk assessment.
