Discussion

Prospective cohort study correlates waist-to-height ratio with all-cause and obesity-related mortality, suggesting its use as a health indicator.

The association of waist-to-height ratio with all-cause mortality demonstrated a U-shaped curve, indicating optimal health outcomes at specific measurements.
The hazard ratio for all-cause mortality at the optimal waist-to-height ratio was 0.753 within the third quartile.
This prospective cohort study analyzed data from 47,741 adults, providing insight into the risks of obesity-related diseases and mortality.
Findings indicate a stable cutoff value of 0.58 for waist-to-height ratio, assisting in public health assessments and obesity management.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
