Waist circumference (WC) is a common indicator of abdominal obesity, but its relationship with lymphocyte subsets is unclear. The role of triglycerides (TG) in this context remains uncertain. This study aims to investigate the relationship between WC and lymphocyte subpopulations, while also evaluating TG's potential mediating effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis was conducted on physical examination records from March 2021 to September 2023, excluding incomplete data or extreme values.
