Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals body roundness index predicts periodontitis better than BMI, highlighting obesity's influence.

Key Points

  • A significant nonlinear association exists between body roundness index and moderate-to-severe periodontitis, with P = 0.007.
  • The highest quartile of body roundness index showed an adjusted odds ratio of 1.571 for periodontitis compared to the lowest quartile.
  • Data from 10,297 adults in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were assessed using linear and restricted cubic spline models.
  • Findings suggest body roundness index may enhance periodontal risk assessment, particularly in obese individuals.
