Implication

Cross-sectional analysis shows increased COPD risk associated with body roundness index in diverse populations, suggesting significant implications for early screening.

Logistic regression analysis revealed a strong correlation, with a P-value < 0.001 based on NHANES data.
Subgroup analyses indicated that the association was most pronounced in Mexican Americans and those with diabetes.
Threshold effect analysis identified a significant inflection point for body roundness index at 4.57, indicating a nuanced relationship.
