    Cardiovascular diseases are increasingly prevalent in China, affecting approximately 330 million individuals due to lifestyle changes and aging.

  • 2

    Waist circumference (WC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease risk, potentially more effective than body mass index (BMI).

  • 3

    Longitudinal studies indicate that WC trajectories over time are associated with elevated heart disease risk, necessitating further research.

  • 4

    The study utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, focusing on individuals aged 45 and older without prior heart disease.

  • 5

    The research aims to explore the combined effects of aging and WC patterns on heart disease risk, with attention to sex-specific differences.
