A nonlinear association between body roundness index and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in general population.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of the study was to investigate the association between body roundness index (BRI) and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in general population.

Design

A retrospective cohort study.

Setting

The status of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality of participants were followed through 31 December 2015. Multivariate adjusted Cox restricted cubic spline regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate the relationship between BRI and cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality.

Participants

A sample of 47 356 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2014 with aged ≥18 years.

Results

Mean age was 47 years and female were 49·9 %. During a median follow-up of
