Association of the weight-adjusted waist index with mortality in osteoporotic patients
摘要
The prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) is steadily rising, leading to a higher risk of mortality. This study assessed the impact of the Weight-Adjusted Waist Index (WWI) on osteoporosis-related mortality.
Materials and MethodsData from NHANES 2005–2010, 2013–2014, and 2017–2018 were analyzed to evaluate the relationship between WWI and mortality in osteoporotic patients using weighted proportional hazards model and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. A subgroup analysis was performed to ensure the stability of the findings.
ResultsThe study included 1324 participants. The findings indicated a positive correlation between WWI and OP (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.45–1.89). Among patients with OP, WWI showed a positive association with all-cause mortality (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10–1.48). There was no observed correlation between varying WWI levels and mortality due to cardiovascular disease or cancer.
ConclusionsMaintaining a lower WWI is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with OP.
