The weight-adjusted waist index and frailty: A cohort study from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Objectives
This cohort study’s aim was to assess the association between the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) and frailty among middle-aged and elderly individuals in China.
Methods
Seven-year complete follow-up data from 10,349 adults aged ≥45 years, initially surveyed in 2 011 in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, were analyzed, including clinical demographic characteristics, anthropometric indices, frailty scores, and relevant covariates. The WWI was calculated as waist circumference divided by the square root of the body weight. Frailty was evaluated using the Frailty Index. Relationships between the WWI and frailty were evaluated via Cox proportional hazards modeling. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses assessed the effectiveness of obesity-related indicators in predicting frailty.
Results
Over a median 84-month follow-up period, frailty occurred in 23.7% (2453/10,349) of participants. After potential confounder adjustment, the WWI positively correlated with frailty (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.14; 95% confidence interval: 1.08–1.20; p < 0.001). After WWI-stratification into quartiles based on frailty and covariate adjustment, regression analyses were conducted; the adjusted hazard ratios exhibited a significant upward trend (p < 0.001). The subgroup analyses revealed higher positive correlations between the WWI and frailty in males and those aged ≥65 years and lower correlations in those with a high school or higher educational level and in married or cohabiting individuals. The strong positive correlation was unaltered in the other subgroup analyses. The WWI outperformed all other obesity-related indicators as a frailty predictor.
Conclusions
The WWI is a dependable and innovative obesity-related predictor of frailty and could help in mitigating its development.
期刊介绍:
There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of "The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging" is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age.
