Association of eight anthropometric indexes related to obesity with the prevalence of clinical osteoarthritis among American adults: a national cross-sectional study
Eight anthropometric indexes related to obesity were all significantly positively associated with clinical OA. Particularly, non-hematological indexes such as WWI and WHtR may show better efficacy in predicting and interventions for clinical OA outcomes, indicating their potential as the preferred strategy for early detection and management of clinical OA.
