BRI and CKM Outcomes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 93 Studies

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 93 observational studies from 13 countries, published up to July 7, 2025, investigating the association between the body roundness index (BRI) and Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome outcomes. The dataset, authored by Hongjia Fu and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, includes pooled effect sizes and diagnostic meta-analysis results. It was last updated on April 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess the association between body roundness index and metabolic syndrome risk based on pooled effect sizes.
• Evaluate the discriminatory ability of BRI for specific metabolic risk factors based on the diagnostic meta-analysis.
• Compare the predictive strength of BRI for different CKM-related outcomes like chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
• Investigate gender-specific risk associations for CKM outcomes using the subgroup analysis results.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 93 included studies, providing a substantial evidence base.
• Data covers 13 countries, suggesting a multi-geographic scope.
• Literature search was updated to July 7, 2025, indicating recent coverage.

Limitations

• The primary data file is a 29.7 MB DOCX document; underlying study data is not provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Row count and column-level documentation for any underlying data are unknown.
• The dataset's utility for direct machine learning is limited as it contains summarized meta-analysis results rather than raw patient-level data.
