The association between body roundness index and osteoporosis in American adults: analysis from NHANES dataset
In a large, representative sample of American adults, this study identified a significant negative correlation between BRI and the prevalence of OP. Specifically, as BRI increases, the prevalence of osteoporosis decreases. Maintaining an appropriate and healthy BRI level may play a critical role in the prevention of osteoporosis. Therefore, regular monitoring of BRI and the adoption of appropriate health measures are essential for reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
