Understanding BRI
BRI models the body as an ellipse to quantify body roundness. Scores range from 1-16, with most people between 1-10.
Health Implications
BRI predicts body fat percentage and health risks better than BMI. Values ≥6.9 show up to 49% increased mortality risk.
Clinical Usage
Introduced in 2013, BRI doesn't require weight measurement and provides accurate estimates of visceral adipose tissue.
BRI Formula
BRI = 364.2 - 365.5 × eccentricity
Calculation Steps
1. Calculate WHtR = Waist ÷ Height
2. Calculate eccentricity = √(1 - (WHtR/π)²)
3. Calculate BRI = 364.2 - 365.5 × eccentricity
