Associations of Visceral Adiposity Index and Body Roundness Index with chronic kidney disease in a Hakka population: mediating effect of blood pressure
The VAI and BRI were independent risk factors for CKD in Hakka Biobank (HKB), with their associations with CKD are partially mediated by blood pressure. Given their ease of measurement and cost-effectiveness, VAI and BRI may serve as practical screening tools for identifying CKD high-risk individuals in community populations, thereby enabling early intervention and targeted prevention strategies of CKD.
