Second-trimester anthropometric estimators of cesarean section: the agreement between body roundness index, body mass index, body fat percentage, and waist circumference
Second-trimester BRI, BMI, BFP, and WC were all significantly associated with CS risk, with BRI potentially demonstrating the strongest independent correlation. An integrated approach incorporating BMI and WC is recommended for CS risk, particularly in time-sensitive or resource-limited settings. The effect of anthropometric changes during pregnancy on CS may be explored in the future.
