Association between weight-adjusted-waist index and long-term prognostic outcomes in cardiovascular disease patients: results from the NHANES 1999–2018 study by Hanbin Li, Wen Zhong, Hongxin Cheng, Shiqi Wang, Ran Li, Lu Wang, Chengqi He, Quan Wei

“…The risk of all-cause mortality increased with WWI and showed a linear association in patients with congestive heart failure, heart attack (P-overall < 0.05, P − nonlinear > 0.05); WWI was nonlinearly associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with coronary heart disease and angina (P-overall < 0.05, P − nonlinear < 0.05). Survival curve analysis further showed that all cause and cardiovascular mortality were higher in the high WWI group (Q4) (P < 0.001). …”
