Observational analysis finds a positive relationship between body roundness index and COPD in adults, suggesting BRI's potential predictive value.

Continuous body roundness index is positively associated with the likelihood of developing COPD.
The odds ratio for developing COPD per unit increase in BRI is 1.140, with a significant p-value of 0.012.
Weighted logistic regression models and subgroup analyses were employed to adjust for confounding factors.
Findings highlight the potential of BRI as a useful tool for COPD risk assessment across various demographics.

Zheng et al. (2025) studied this question.
