Does the Body Roundness Index (BRI) predict %body fat and %visceral adipose tissue?
Does the Body Roundness Index (BRI) predict %body fat and %visceral adipose tissue?
The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is a novel geometrical shape measure that predicts body fat and visceral adipose tissue, offering a potential visual tool for health status evaluation.
May support visual adiposity assessment in practice; hypothesis-generating for BRI integration into cardiometabolic risk models.
BRI, a new shape measure, is a predictor of %body fat and %VAT and can be applied as a visual tool for health status evaluations.
