| Abstract | Objective Infertility is associated with obesity. The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is a body measurement index related to obesity that more accurately assesses body and visceral fat levels. However, the relationship between BRI and infertility remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between BRI and infertility. Methods This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2018 and included 3,528 women aged 18–45 years. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to investigate the association between BRI and infertility. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis explored the linear or non-linear relationship between BRI and infertility. Interaction analyses were conducted on subgroups to validate the findings. To verify the robustness of the results, we performed several sensitivity analyses, including propensity score matching(PSM) and multiple imputations for missing data. Furthermore, the predictive capabilities of various anthropometric indices—including BRI, weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), body mass index (BMI), and weight—on infertility incidence were assessed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results There was a significant positive association between BRI and infertility. After adjusting for covariates, for each unit increase in BRI, there was a 12% increase in the probability of infertility (P < 0.001). This positive correlation persisted when BRI was categorized into quartiles. Moreover, as BRI increased, there was a trend towards higher infertility prevalence (P for trend < 0.001). The dose-response curve indicated a linear association between BRI and infertility, with higher BRI associated with higher infertility risk. The correlation between BRI and infertility persisted in subgroup analysis and multiple imputations. The ROC curve analysis revealed that BRI had a superior predictive capability compared to traditional obesity indices, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.618 (95% CI, 0.588–0.648). Conclusion The results of this study show a strong positive correlation between BRI and the prevalence of infertility. Clinical trial number Not Applicable. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
