Association of waist-to-height ratio with all-cause and obesity-related mortality in adults: a prospective cohort study
We found that the WHtR is associated with all-cause mortality in a U-shaped manner and provides a relatively stable cutoff value (0.58) for mortality related to obesity-associated diseases. This finding offers a convenient anthropometric indicator for body management in the general population.
