Subgroup analysis of corneal nerve parameters across different body mass index (BMI) categories. Bar charts showing the comparisons of corneal nerve parameters across various BMI categories: (a) corneal nerve fiber density (CNFD, number of fibers/mm2), (b) corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL, total length of fibers mm/mm2), (c) corneal nerve branch density (CNBD, number of branch points on main fibers/mm2), (d) corneal nerve fiber area (CNFA, total nerve fiber area mm2/mm2), and (e) corneal nerve fractal dimension (CFracDim). The y-axis represents the mean values of each corneal nerve parameter, while the x-axis are the different BMI (kg/m2) categories: (1) underweight: BMI < 18.5, (2) normal: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25, (3) overweight: 25 ≤ BMI < 30, (4) class I obesity: 30 ≤ BMI < 35, (5) class II obesity: 35 ≤ BMI < 40, and (6) class III obesity: BMI > 40. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.005, ***, P < 0.0001
