Implication

Multivariable analysis reveals the link between body roundness index, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in COPD patients.

Key Points

  • The body roundness index is linked to increased all-cause mortality in COPD patients, highlighting its significance.
  • Higher BRI quartiles correlate with reduced survival probabilities and increased cumulative mortality incidence.
  • Data for 3,672 COPD participants were analyzed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models and ROC curves.
  • The findings suggest that targeting BRI could be a potential strategy for reducing mortality in COPD patients.
