Relationship Between Body Roundness Index and Diabetic Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Considering the reported link between obesity and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), this study investigated the association between body roundness index (BRI) and DKD. Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from the National Metabolic Management Center (MMC) of Yuhuan Second People's Hospital and Taizhou Central Hospital (Taizhou University Hospital) between September 2017 and May 2024. BRI was calculated using waist circumference (WC) and height. BRI was analyzed as a continuous and categorical variable to examine its association with DKD. Multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses of the interplay between the BRI and DKD were conducted. Subgroup analysis was also performed. Results: Among 12,231 analyzed individuals, 502
