ABSTRACT
Waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) is a validated biomarker of central obesity that appears to be preferable to other body composition measurements in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease. The goal of this research was to explore the connection between WtHR and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) among adults. On the basis of data from the 2013 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, multivariate logistic regression, sensitivity analysis, as well as smoothed curve fitting were used to evaluate the connection between WtHR and AAC. Subgroup analyses along with interaction tests were done to see if this link was consistent across populations. Among 3079 participants aged >40 years, there was a negative association between WtHR and ACC. Each 1-unit emergence of WtHR was related to a 2% reduction in the probability of severe AAC in the entirely adjusted model (odds ratioâ

0.02, 95% confidence interval [0.00-0.12]). Participants in the highest WtHR quartile were 39% less likely to acquire severe AAC compared with those in the lowest quartile. (odds ratioâ
=â
0.61, 95% confidence interval [0.37-1.00]). This negative association was more pronounced in the diabetes subgroup. We discovered a reversed U-shaped association between WtHR as well as AAC score utilizing a 2-stage linear regression model, with an intersection point of 0.56. WtHR was negatively associated with AAC among US adults.
