Weight-adjusted waist index and lung health ‒ Uncovering a hidden link between central obesity and respiratory risk

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the relationship between the weight-adjusted waist index and lung health indicators.
• Analyzed association of weight-adjusted waist index with lung function metrics.
• Investigated the correlation between WWI and chronic respiratory disease risk.
• Found that elevated WWI is linked to lower lung function levels.
• Identified increased risk of chronic respiratory disease associated with higher WWI.
