The association between body roundness index and handgrip strength and muscle quality index: A cross-sectional study
The results showed that BRI was positively correlated with HGS and negatively correlated with MQI, meaning that higher BRI was associated with higher HGS and lower MQI. This highlights the importance of body fat distribution in muscle health and suggests that BRI can be used as an effective anthropometric indicator to predict grip strength and muscle mass.
