Association between body roundness index and psoriasis among US adults: a nationwide population-based study
2024
Overview
Background
In clinical practice, psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease featured with the development of red plaque with silvery scales, which considerably affects cutaneous health and quality of life of those afflicted.
Objective
This research aimed to examine the association between the body roundness index (BRI) and psoriasis, using data sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods
Our study used a cross-sectional design, including 8,479 adults, of whom 234 were diagnosed with psoriasis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between BRI and psoriasis, with stepwise adjustments for covariables.
Results
Results from multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between BRI and the risk of developing psoriasis; specifically, after comprehensive adjustment for covariables, per 1 unit increase in BRI was linked to an 11% rise in psoriasis risk (OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.05–1.17). Furthermore, psoriasis patients exhibited higher average BRI compared to non-psoriasis patients and a greater prevalence of comorbidities such as hypertension and smoking.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that higher BRI is positively correlated with the risk of psoriasis in the adult population in the US. BRI could potentially act as a practical anthropometric index for more accurately predicting the risk of developing psoriasis.
