- Study explores the link between anthropometric indices and Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome stages and mortality.
- Data from NHANES (1999-2018) analyzed, involving 28,911 adults categorized into CKM stages 1-2 and 3-4.
- Key findings show body mass index, waist circumference, Weight-adjusted Waist Index (WWI), and relative fat mass increase with CKM severity.
- Higher quartiles of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), WWI, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and Conicity Index (C-index) linked to increased mortality in early CKM stages.
- ABSI and WWI consistently associated with mortality in advanced CKM stages (3-4).
- ABSI, WWI, and C-index showed the best discrimination for CKM progression.
- Central adiposity measures (like ABSI, WWI) more strongly associated with CKM outcomes than general adiposity measures.
- Findings suggest potential for anthropometric indices in early risk stratification and targeted interventions for CKM syndrome.
