Abstract:
Compared with traditional obesity evaluation indexes,the weight-adjusted waist index(WWI)is a combination of waist circumference(WC)and the square root of body mass.WWI can accurately reflect the relationship between abdominal fat accumulation and body mass changes in the obese patients,and it can predict the risk of obesity-related diseases,such as type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),hyperuricemia,heart failure,abdominal aortic calcification(AAC),erectile dysfunction(ED)in the males,osteoarthritis(OA),asthma,dementia and stroke,and may be an independent determinant of left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)and an independent risk factor for stroke in Chinese adult hypertensive patients.The correlations between WWI and the risk assessment and prediction of obesity-related diseases,such as endocrine metabolic diseases,cardiovascular diseases(CVD),reproductive diseases,neurological diseases,asthma,osteoarthritis,and non-alcoholic liver fibrosis(NAFLD),were now analysed in cornbination of the recent domestic and international related studies,with the aim of providing references for the further study of the assessment and prediction of obesity-related diseases.
