Association between body roundness index and risk of osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The link between body roundness index (BRI) and osteoarthritis (OA) has yet to be validated. Our aim was to explore this connection between BRI and OA risk.

Methods

This cross-sectional study utilized the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey retrieved data. To assess the association between BRI and OA risk, we performed weighted multivariable regression analysis (MVRA), with smooth curve fitting for potential nonlinear association and subgroup analysis and interaction tests for relationships in specific subgroups. A 7:3 ratio was adopted for the random division of the acquired data into training and validation sets. Subsequently, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, along with MVRA, were conducted for the training set t
