The BRI measures how round a body is, illustrated through height, weight, and waist data, presenting a more nuanced understanding of health compared to BMI.
Dr. Wajahat Mehal emphasized that BMI is merely one data point, and a comprehensive analysis of health should include multiple factors and indices.
Studies have shown that the BRI effectively forecasts health conditions, especially addressing the shortfalls of BMI in assessing different body types and their related health risks.
The co-author of a recent study on the BRI pointed out that BMI often overestimates risk for athletes but underestimates it for older adults with fat composition changes.
