Association between body roundness index and suicidal ideation in U.S. adults: A cross-sectional study

The present study indicated that a greater BRI was significantly associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation. The findings underscore the importance of considering BRI as a potential indicator for identifying individuals at elevated risk of suicidal ideation. The study also emphasizes the need for a shift towards a weight-inclusive approach in public health, which can help reduce societal pressures and mitigate the psychological impact of weight stigma.
