Body Roundness Index Trajectories and the Risk of Cancer: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The body rounds index (BRI), an innovative obesity indicator integrating waist circumference (WC) and height, offers a two-dimensional assessment of obesity. The relationship between BRI trajectories and cancer has been overlooked in previous studies. This study aims to explore the association between BRI trajectories and the incidence of cancer.

Methods

This study included 42,022 participants with a median age of 48.91 years. Based on the changes in participants' BRI during the period from 2006 to 2010, three BRI trajectory patterns were identified: low-stable, medium-stable, and high-stable. The primary outcome was cancer incidence and the secondary outcome was cancer-specific deaths. The association between BRI trajectories and cancer incidence and death was ex
