Abstract

Weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) is an anthropometric indicator of central obesity, which is calculated by dividing the waist circumference (WC) by the squared weight. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between WWI and psoriasis in adults. Multivariate logistic regression and smoothing curve fitting were used to investigate the relationship between WWI and psoriasis based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009 to 2014. Subgroup analysis and interaction tests were employed to examine the population-level stability of this connection. There was a positive association between WWI and psoriasis in 15,932 participants > 20 years of age. In the fully adjusted model, each 1-unit increase in WWI was associated with a 14% increase in the risk of developing psoriasis [1.14 (1.01, 1.32)]. Participants in the highest quartile of WWI had a 38% higher risk of developing psoriasis than those in the lowest quartile [1.38 (1.01, 1.94)]. This positive association was more pronounced in males. WWI is positively associated with psoriasis in US adults. Our findings imply that WWI has the potential to improve psoriasis prevention in the general population.
