The association of body roundness index and body mass index with frailty and all-cause mortality: a study from the population aged 40 and above in the United States by Jianqiang Zhang, Huifeng Zhang

“…Piecewise regression based on the inflection point shows that when BRI < 7.33, an increase in BRI reduces the risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.78–0.92, P < 0.0001), while when BRI ≥ 7.33, an increase in BRI increases the risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.03–1.38, P = 0.02); when BMI < 33.57, an increase in BMI reduces the risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.78–0.91, P < 0.0001), and when BMI ≥ 33.57, an increase in BRI increases the risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.04–1.34, P = 0.01). Moreover, the time-dependent c-index curve showed that the ability of BRI to predict the risk of all-cause mortality in frail people was comparable to that of BMI. …”
