Description
HanYu Wang and six co-authors test whether a waist index adjusted for weight predicts obstructive sleep apnea, in a two thousand twenty-four cross-sectional and genetic study. The weight-adjusted waist index is meant to capture central obesity independent of body weight.
In national survey data from two thousand seventeen to two thousand twenty, higher index values tracked higher apnea risk even after full adjustment, with the top quartile at clearly elevated odds. The index outperformed other measures as a predictor, with a saturation point in the relationship. Mendelian randomization, using genetic instruments, supported a causal reading. The authors propose the simple index as a screening aid for apnea risk.
