  • Wu et al. found that BRI was strongly associated with cardiovascular disease in younger individuals aged 55 years and below.

    “Wu et al. [21] also found that BRI was strongly associated with cardiovascular disease in younger individuals aged 55 years and below.”

    From The discriminatory ability of the body roundness index and body mass index for metabolic diseases in Korean adults: a comparative study (2025) · cites this paper as [21]

    The Results report that the association between BRI trajectories and CVD was more evident in adults aged <55 years. The claim broadly reflects that finding, but it says BRI rather than BRI trajectories and includes people aged 55, whereas the paper's younger subgroup excludes them. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
