Background: An innovative way to quantify obesity that appropriately captures levels of visceral and body fat is the Body Roundness Index (BRI). The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between BRI and osteoporosis (OP) in adult Americans. Methods: This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 2007 and 2018. NHANES is a research program designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. It conducts surveys focusing on various populations and health-related topics. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the relationship between BRI and OP, adjusting for various covariates. BRI was categorized into four levels to further explore the association trends between different BRI levels and OP, enhancing the robustness of the results. Using restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, the dose-response relationship between BRI and OP was illustrated. Subgroup analyses were also carried out to evaluate the consistency and robustness of the findings. Results: This study included 8,899 participants aged 50 years and older, among whom 763 had OP. BRI and the prevalence of OP were inversely correlated in the fully adjusted model (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.69-0.86). The prevalence of OP considerably reduced with higher BRI levels when BRI was converted from a continuous to a categorical variable in comparison to the lowest BRI quartile. RCS analysis revealed...
