Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between body roundness index (BRI) and deaths from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Materials And Methods: The data was sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018. Cox proportional hazards regression along with restricted cubic splines were applied to assess the associations of BRI with deaths from all causes and CVD in individuals with CKD.
Results: In total, 8,000 individuals were included in the final analysis. In participants with CKD, there was a nonlinear U-shaped association between BRI and deaths from all causes and CVD, with inflection points at 6.29 and 6.04. When BRI was below the inflection points, each unit increment of BRI correlated with a 11% reduction in deaths from all causes [HR: 0.89 (0.84-0.94), < 0.001] and a 15% reduction in deaths from CVD [HR: 0.85 (0.75-0.95), = 0.006)]. Conversely, when BRI surpassed the inflection points, each unit increment of BRI was linked to a 9% rise in deaths from all causes [HR: 1.09 (1.03-1.14), = 0.001] and a 10% rise in deaths from CVD [HR: 1.10 (1.02-1.20), = 0.019].
Conclusion: In this nationally representative study, we found a nonlinear U-shaped association between BRI and deaths from all causes and CVD among participants with CKD, with inflection points at 6.29 and 6.04. Further research is required to establish the optimal range of BRI as a measure of visceral fat deposition.

Correlation between the body roundness index and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional analysis.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, with abdominal fat, particularly visceral fat, closely associated with its onset and progression. While the lipid accumulation product (LAP) has been linked to COPD risk, it is not sufficient to fully reflect the level of visceral fat. In contrast, the body roundness index (BRI), a more accurate measure of abdominal fat distribution, has not been fully explored in relation to COPD.

Objective: Waist circumference (WC) has been linked to exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the relationship between WC, height, and the Body Roundness Index (BRI) with mortality in COPD patients remains unclear. This study investigates the association between BRI and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in COPD patients.
Methods: Data from 3,672 COPD participants (1,517 men and 2,155 women; mean age: 53.

Background: No previous study has compared the predictive capacity of various anthropometric indices of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in East Asians.
Objective: This study aimed to compare which anthropometric indices have greater impact on CVD in the Japanese population.
Methods: Data from a health checkup program conducted by the Panasonic Corporation between 2008 and 2021, including 160,656 participants, were analyzed.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality, with hypertension being a major concern. Majority of CVD-related deaths occur in developing countries.
Aim: This study examined the relationship between various anthropometric indices, including neck circumference (NC), body mass index (BMI), hip index (HI), waist circumference (WC) and body roundness index (BRI) and hypertension among market women in Koforidua, Ghana.
