Heard of the body roundness index (BRI)? This new screening method measures waist circumference and height to predict overall body fat and visceral fat levels.

Researchers have found that using BRI may be more accurate to estimate obesity and its associated health risks than the standard BMI.

So how much a good BRI should be?

So how much a good BRI should be?    

The BRI models the human body shape as an ellipse (an oval), with the intent to relate body girth with height to determine body roundness. It is calculated simply using a tape measure to obtain waist circumference and height, which are then combined with an ellipse factor before computation by an automatic calculator.

BRI scores range from 1 to 16, with most people between 1 and 10, although people with scores of 6.9 and up – indicating wider, rounder bodies – were found to have a risk of all-cause mortality that was increased by up to 49% compared to people having a medium BRI of 5.[2][3] In a 2020 review, high BRI was associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome and several other diseases.[4]

Typical American adult BRI values range from 3 or less (midsection leanness) to 7 or more (midsection roundness), with a medium index of about 5.[1][3] As a relatively newer predictive metric, BRI has a smaller research record compared to established indices like the BMI or waist-to-hip ratio, indicating its accuracy and uses remain to be fully established in clinical research.

I am more interested in Breast Roundness Index

I think Singapore females all fail
