Body roundness index, thyroid hormones, and threshold effects in US adults: a cross-sectional study from NHANES by Sijia Yang, Kun Liao, Lu Zhou, Shengbo Zhang, Jianchao Wu

“…BackgroundThe correlation between visceral adipose tissue and thyroid hormones is debated, and the conventional body mass index (BMI) is insufficient for differentiating fat distribution patterns. This study investigates the nonlinear relationship and threshold effects of the Body Roundness Index (BRI), a geometric metric of visceral fat (BRI = 364.2–365.5 × [1 – (waist circumference/2π)2/(0.5 × √height)2]), on thyroid hormone levels, hypothesizing that BRI influences thyroid hormone concentrations through a specific threshold.MethodsThis study analyzes cross-sectional data from 10,086 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) obtained between 2007 and 2012. …”
