Body Roundness Index is a Stronger Predictor of Cardiometabolic Risk than Body Mass Index in Children between Ages 8 to 17 years
Objective
To determine whether body roundness index (BRI) is a stronger predictor of cardiometabolic outcomes compared with body mass index (BMI) in children.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 3996 children aged 8-17 from the 2015-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database. Exposures were BMI and BRI z-scores. Primary outcomes were hypertensive blood pressure (BP) and BP index; secondary outcomes were serum glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels. Complex regression models were adjusted for age, sex, poverty index ratio, food insecurity, and energy expenditure.
Results
BRI and BMI z-scores were individually associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure indices. The addition of BRI to the BMI model strengthened the association with diastolic BP index, but not for systolic BP index. Although BMI z-scores were not associated with hypertensive BP, BRI z-scores were significantly associated with hypertensive BP (OR 1.497, 95% CI [1.175-1.907], P < .01). Adding BRI to BMI models improved the predictive fit for hypertensive BP as well as serum glucose, insulin, and triglyceride levels.
Conclusions
BRI is a stronger predictor of cardiometabolic outcomes compared with BMI, providing incremental value in cardiovascular risk assessment in children. Future studies should validate these findings and explore the clinical utility of BRI in pediatric settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pediatrics is an international peer-reviewed journal that advances pediatric research and serves as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. The Journal publishes original work based on standards of excellence and expert review. The Journal seeks to publish high quality original articles that are immediately applicable to practice (basic science, translational research, evidence-based medicine), brief clinical and laboratory case reports, medical progress, expert commentary, grand rounds, insightful editorials, “classic” physical examinations, and novel insights into clinical and academic pediatric medicine related to every aspect of child health. Published monthly since 1932, The Journal of Pediatrics continues to promote the latest developments in pediatric medicine, child health, policy, and advocacy.
Topics covered in The Journal of Pediatrics include, but are not limited to:
General Pediatrics
Pediatric Subspecialties
Adolescent Medicine
Allergy and Immunology
Cardiology
Critical Care Medicine
Developmental-Behavioral Medicine
Endocrinology
