Does body roundness index (BRI) predict cardiovascular outcomes and mortality more reliably than BMI in patients with metabolic syndrome?
Body roundness index (BRI) may serve as a more reliable prognostic tool than BMI for predicting cardiovascular risk and mortality in patients with metabolic syndrome.
BRI might be a more reliable predictor of cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in MetS patients than BMI. The identified threshold value of BRI can assist clinicians in making accurate prognostic evaluations. However, findings may vary by age and gender, underscoring the need for further research in diverse populations.
