The determination of kidney stones was determined by the personal history of kidney stones reported through the questionnaire. All indicators were calculated based on the relevant data extracted from the database. Weighted logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were performed to evaluate the association between indicators and kidney stones. Furthermore, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were conducted to assess the robustness and generalizability of the results.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, 2,636 of the enrolled participants were identified as having kidney stones. Following adjustment for all covariates, multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between kidney stones and NPAR (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.22-2.18, p = 0.001), NAR (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.40, p = 0.015), UHR (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.15-1.79, p = 0.002), and LHR (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.02-1.30, p = 0.026). However, the significant association of NAR was no longer observed in quartile analysis and trend analysis. RCS analysis demonstrated a nonlinear association between NAR, UHR, LHR, and kidney stones. Furthermore, sex was the key factor in subgroup analysis of NPAR and LHR, whereas age was the key factor for UHR and NAR.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study found that higher NPAR, NAR, UHR, and LHR levels were linked to increased kidney stone risk. UHR exhibits greater stability in comparison to other indicators. Subgroup analyses emphasized the need to consider demographic factors when interpreting these indicators. Further prospective studies are essential to confirm the results.</p>","PeriodicalId":9285,"journal":{"name":"BMC Urology","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13032354/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147526947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
