Relationship between body roundness index and obstructive sleep apnea: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the relationship between body roundness index (BRI) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) risk and the difference in the ability of BRI and body mass index (BMI) to identify people at high risk for OSA in different conditions.

Methods

This study was based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005 to 2008 and 2015 to 2018. Participants were categorized into OSA high-risk and OSA low-risk groups via questionnaires about sleep. The potential relationship between BRI and high risk for OSA was explored using several statistical methods, including weighted logistic regression models, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), restricted cubic spline curves (RCS), interaction tests, and subgroup analyses
