Association between chinese visceral adiposity index and risk of kidney stones in a health screening population: an ultrasonography based cross-sectional study. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:193. [PMID: 38862924 PMCID: PMC11167784 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03627-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is an important risk factor for kidney stones(KS). Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), as a specific indicator for visceral obesity in the Chinese population, can more accurately assess the visceral fat content in Chinese individuals compared to Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI). However, the association between CVAI and risk for KS has not been studied. METHODS A total of 97,645 participants from a health screening cohort underwent ultrasound examinations for the diagnosis of kidney stones, along with measurements of their CVAI. Logistic regressions were utilized to determine the relationship between different quartiles of CVAI and the incidence of kidney stones. Simultaneously, subgroup analysis and the computation of dose-response curves were employed to pinpoint susceptible populations. RESULTS Among the participants, 2,888 individuals (3.0%) were diagnosed with kidney stones. The mean CVAI values ± standard deviation for the four groups were: Q1 (18.42 ± 19.64), Q2 (65.24 ± 10.39), Q3 (98.20 ± 9.11), and Q4 (140.40 ± 21.73). In the fully adjusted multivariable model, CVAI was positively correlated with urolithiasis (OR = 1.001; 95% CI = 1.000, 1.002). Compared with the first quartile of CVAI, the population in the fourth quartile of CVAI had a higher prevalence of kidney stones (OR = 1.231; 95% CI = 1.066, 1.415). Through subgroup analysis, a positive correlation between CVAI and the risk of kidney stones was found in non-smokers (OR = 1.001, 95%CI:1.000, 1.002), non-drinkers (OR = 1.001, 95%CI:1.000, 1.002), non-hypertensive subgroups (OR = 1.003, 95%CI:1.002, 1.003), and non-diabetes subgroups (OR = 1.001, 95%CI:1.000, 1.002). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that CVAI could be a reliable and effective biomarker for assessing the potential risk of kidney stone prevalence, with significant implications for the primary prevention of kidney stones and public health.

[PMID: 38911038 PMCID: PMC11193331 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1266761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), a novel adiposity index, and kidney stone (KS). Methods Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018. According to the history of KS, participants were divided into the non-stone group and the stone group. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the correlation between WWI and KS in unadjusted, partially adjusted, and all-adjusted models. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis assessed the association between continuous WWI and KS risk and obtained the risk function inflection point. Then, subgroup analysis based on the risk function inflection point was conducted to dissect the association in specific subgroups. In addition, the above analyst methods were repeatedly performed in populations after propensity score matching (PSM). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to compare the ability to predict KS occurrence among WWI, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and body mass index (BMI). Results Weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses found a positive association between continuous WWI and KS risk in the all-adjusted model [odds ratio (OR) = 1.03; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-1.04; P < 0.001]. In further analysis, the Q4 WWI group was linked to the highest KS risk when compared to the Q1-Q3 group (OR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.05-1.08, P < 0.001). RCS analysis found a linear significant correlation between continuous WWI and KS risk, and the risk function inflection point is 11.08 cm/√kg. Subgroup analysis confirmed that WWI was associated with KS risk in different groups. After PSM, increased WWI was still related to a high risk of KS. Moreover, the ROC curve demonstrated that WWI has a higher predictive ability of KS occurrence than VAI and BMI (area under curve, 0.612 vs. 0.581 vs. 0.569). Conclusion In the US adult population, elevated WWI value was associated with an increased risk of KS. Furthermore, WWI was a better predictor of KS occurrence than VAI and BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the potential association between the body roundness index (BRI) and kidney stone prevalence in adults in the United States. METHODS A cohort of participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database spanning 2007-2018 were gathered for analysis. Logistic regression analyses, subgroup assessments, and calculations were employed to examine the potential link between BRI and kidney stone prevalence. RESULTS The study included 30,990 participants aged > 20 years, of which 2,891 declared a kidney stone history. After modulating all relevant confounding factors, each unit increase in the BRI was linked to a 65% increase in kidney stone prevalence (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.47, 1.85). Sensitivity analyses conducted by categorizing the BRI into three groups revealed a 59% increase in kidney stone prevalence in the highest tertile BRI group compared to the lowest one (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.42, 1.79). Furthermore, dose-response curves depicted a positive near-linear correlation between the BRI and the risk of kidney stone prevalence. CONCLUSION These findings suggest a clinically noteworthy positive correlation between higher BRI values and kidney stone prevalence among the studied US adult population. However, it is essential to acknowledge that the observed relationship does not establish a causal link.

Abstract
Objective Using data from NHANES 2007-2018, to examine the association between WWI (weight-adjusted waist index) index and prevalence of kidney stones. Methods Using multiple logistic regression analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018, we evaluated the association between WWI index and the prevalence of kidney stones, followed by subgroup analysis of sensitive populations. Smooth curve fitting was used to determine whether there was a non-linear relationship between the WWI index and kidney stone prevalence, and threshold effect analysis was used to test this relationship. Results Among 29,280 participants, 2,760 self-reported renal calculi. After adjustment for all confounders, there was a positive association between WWI and kidney stone prevalence (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.28), and this positive association was stronger with increasing WWI (and P = 0.01 for trend). Our results indicate a non-linear positive correlation between WWI index and kidney stones, with the saturation threshold effect analysis and the most important threshold value at 11.02. According to subgroup analysis, WWI showed the strongest association with kidney stone prevalence in participants aged 20-39 years, males, other US ethnic groups, and participants without hypertension and diabetes. Conclusion Increased WWI is positively associated with increased incidence of kidney stones, and increased WWI is a high risk for kidney stones that should be treated with caution. This association should be more pronounced in people between the ages of 20 and 39 years, in men, in other US ethnic populations, and in participants who do not have hypertension or diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our aim is to evaluate the relationship between prevalence of kidney stones (KS) and novel anthropometric indices (AHIs). METHODS Participants who participated in the KS questionnaire was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007 to 2018.A series of covariates were also obtained. The novel AHIs include a body shape index (ABSI) and body roundness index (BRI). Weighted multivariable-adjusted logistic regression was performed to investigate the association of KS with AHIs. RESULTS After relative covariates were adjusted, a greater risk of KS for each z score increase in ABSI (OR = 1.13, 95%CI 1.05-1.22), and the risk of KS augmented by 19% for every 1 BRI z score added (OR = 1.19, 95%CI 1.11-1.27). The results from subgroup analysis showed that among adults aged 20-39 (OR = 1.31, 95%CI 1.04-1.65), male (OR = 1.14, 95%CI 1.02-1.28), the risk of KS is higher with the increase of each ABSI z score. Raising each BRI z score in those who were male aged 20-39 and 40-59 resulted in a higher risk of KS (aged 20-39: OR = 1.34, 95%CI 1.06-1.69; aged 40-59: OR = 1.29, 95%CI 1.09-1.53). In female aged 40-59, increasing each BRI z score led to a higher risk of KS (OR = 1.23, 95%CI 1.07-1.41). A linear association of ABSI z score with the risk of KS and a non-linear relationship between BRI z score and the risk of KS were discovered. CONCLUSION This study found that the novel AHIs was related to the risk of kidney stones, and can be used as important indicators to evaluate the risk of KS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testosterone decline and deficiency importantly affect men's health, and may be associated with excessive deposition of visceral adipose tissue. This study was conducted to explore the association between visceral adiposity index (VAI) and testosterone level. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1551 participants from the NHANES 2013-2013 cycle and 2015-2016 cycle were selected for our analyses. The VAI index was calculated based on waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and serum testosterone was measured by isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariable adjusted linear and logistic regression were utilized to investigate the associations between VAI index and testosterone level and testosterone deficiency, respectively. Additionally, subgroup analyses were performed to identify sensitive populations. RESULTS A total of 1551 participants with mean VAI index of 1.95±0.08 were eligible for our analysis. After adjusting for all potential cofounders, men with higher VAI index displayed a lower level of total testosterone level (ß: -11.74, 95% CI: -17.33, -6.15, P<0.0001), and higher risk of testosterone deficiency (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.40, P=0.0022). Comparing to VAI quartile 1, quartile 4 showed the most decreased testosterone level (ß: -94.59, 95% CI: -130.04, -59.14, P<0.0001), and highest risk of testosterone deficiency (OR: 5.07, 95% CI: 2.41,10.63, P<0.0001). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that VAI index was strongly related to testosterone level and testosterone deficiency in aged and obese men. CONCLUSIONS Men with higher VAI index displayed lower testosterone levels and higher risk of testosterone deficiency, especially in aged men and obese men.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) are considered at high-risk for incident stroke. An indicator of visceral adiposity dysfunction, the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) is used to evaluate the dysfunction of visceral fat. Given the impact of visceral adiposity dysfunction on elevating cardiovascular hazards, this study aimed to examine the association between CVAI and stroke risk in MetS patients. Method Between November 2017 and December 2018, a total of 18,974 individuals aged ≥40 underwent standardized in-person clinical interviews in Hunan Province, with 6,732 meeting the criteria for MetS. After the baseline survey was completed, subsequent surveys were conducted biennially. The study was split into two stages performed at baseline and after two years. During the former, receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to assess the accuracy of using baseline CVAI in diagnosing MetS. After two years, we examined the association between CVAI and incident stroke in MetS patients using logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. Result As evidenced by a higher AUC (AUC:0.741), CVAI demonstrated superior diagnostic performance relative to body mass index (AUC:0.631) and waist circumference (AUC:0.627) in diagnosing MetS. After a 2-year follow-up, 72 MetS patients had a stroke event. There was a robust positive correlation between incident stroke and CVAI in patients with MetS. Each 1 SD increase in CVAI was associated with a 1.52-fold higher risk of stroke after adjustment for confounding factors (aOR=1.52, 95%CI: 1.18-1.95). The RCS demonstrated a reduced risk of stroke for MetS patients when the CVAI was below 110.91. However, no significant correlation was detected between CVAI and stroke in non-MetS patients. Conclusion Our findings recommend CVAI as a superior screening tool for detecting MetS and suggest that reducing CVAI can mitigate the risk of stroke in patients with MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the VAI (visceral adiposity index) and stroke prevalence and age at stroke in US adults. METHODS We examined the association between VAI and stroke prevalence and age at stroke using logistic regression, subgroup analysis, and dose-response curves using participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database from 2007-2018. RESULTS This study ultimately included 29,337 participants aged >20 years, of whom 1022 self-reported a history of stroke, and after adjusting for all confounders, each unit increase in corrected VAI was associated with a 12% increase in the prevalence of stroke (OR= 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.24) along with an earlier age at stroke 1.64 years (β= -1.64, 95% CI: -2.84, -0.45), stratified analysis showed that the prevalence of stroke was 20% higher in the female group (OR= 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.39), black group (OR= 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.48), age ≤60 years group (OR= 1.25, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.48), hypertensive group (OR=1.15, 95% CI:1.01, 1.31), and diabetic group (OR=1.23, 95% CI:1.02, 1.48) VAI increase was positively correlated with stroke prevalence increase. The dose-response curves showed a positive linear correlation between increased VAI and stroke prevalence, while a negative linear correlation was observed between increased VAI and age at stroke. CONCLUSION Although a causal relationship cannot be proven, higher VAI was positively associated with stroke prevalence and can lead to earlier stroke onset.
