Abstract

As unhealthy diets have proliferated, there has been an increasing trend in the prevalence of obesity along with socioeconomic progress. WWI, mainly representing weight-independent central obesity, is a more accurate indicator of obesity than BMI and WC. Klotho is known to be one of the root causes of several age-related illnesses. There has never been any prior evidence associating WWI and serum α-Klotho levels.

Research summary

The paper claims an association between weight-adjusted-waist index and serum α-Klotho levels in U.S. adults. This research is relevant as it explores a potential link between obesity indicators and a protein associated with aging, contributing to the understanding of factors that may influence age-related diseases.
