Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the relationship between Body Roundness Index (BRI) and all-cause mortality in different populations with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Analyzed data from two cohorts: one from the US and another from Chinese elderly populations.
Compared the associations between BRI and mortality across both cohorts.
Investigated factors contributing to differences in BRI-mortality associations, such as age and obesity phenotype.
A significant linear association between BRI and mortality was found in the US MASLD population.
Statistical power was insufficient in the Chinese cohort to confirm similar associations.
Heterogeneity between cohorts suggested the influence of various population-specific factors.

Implication

This dual-cohort study examines the link between body roundness index and mortality in MASLD populations, suggesting specific validation needed for different groups.
