Popis: Abstract Background Unhealthy body composition, including high fat mass, low muscle mass and low bone mass, is a critical health issue in adults. The weight‐adjusted waist index (WWI) estimates fat and muscle mass and may have implications for bone health. We examined its association with body composition outcomes in a large Korean adult cohort. Methods This study used data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2008–2011). WWI was calculated as waist circumference (cm) divided by the square root of body weight (kg). Dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD), appendicular lean mass (ALM) and total body fat percentage. Unhealthy body composition was defined as combined presence of high fat mass, low bone mass and low muscle mass. Results A total of 5983 individuals (3034 men [50.7%] and 2949 women [49.3%]; mean age: 63.5 ± 8.7 years) were included. WWI was positively correlated with total body fat percentage (r = 0.478, P
