Negative association between body roundness index and constipation: insights from NHANES
An inverse association was observed between BRI and constipation risk in U.S. adults, suggesting that lower BRI levels may correlate with raised constipation incidence. This underscores the critical importance of maintaining optimal BRI levels for constipation prevention. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms governing this association.
