2. Body roundness index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_roundness_index

   Body roundness index (BRI) is a calculated geometric index used to quantify an aspect of a person's individual body shape. Based on the principle of body eccentricity, it provides a rapid visual and anthropometric tool for health evaluation. [1] Introduced in 2013, the BRI calculation can be used to estimate total and visceral body fat.

3. Waist-to-height ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist-to-height_ratio

   WHtR is a measure of the distribution of body fat. Higher values of WHtR indicate higher risk of obesity-related cardiovascular diseases , which are correlated with abdominal obesity . [ 1 ] A waist size less than half the height helps to stave off serious health problems.

   www.aol.com/bmi-vs-body-fat-percentage-110019087...

   For example, if you weigh 150 pounds and are 5 feet 6 inches tall, your BMI would be 24.2. ... Body fat percentage is more suited for individual assessments, especially when precise body ...

5. Body adiposity index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_adiposity_index

   The BAI is calculated as: [2] Hip circumference (Pearson correlation coefficient, R = 0.602) and height (R = −0.524) are strongly correlated with percentage of body fat.. Comparing BAI with "gold standard" dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results, the correlation between DXA-derived percentage of adiposity and the BAI in a target population was R = 0.85, with a concordance of C_b = 0

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_rule_of_nines

   To estimate the body surface area of a burn, the rule of nines assigns BSA values to each major body part: [3] This allows the emergency medical provider to obtain a quick estimate of how much body surface area is burned. For example, if a patient's entire back (18%) and entire left leg (18%) are burned, about 36% of the patient's BSA is affected.

8. Body composition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

   A wide variety of body composition measurement methods exist. The gold standard measurement technique for the 4-compartment model consists of a weight measurement, body density measurement using hydrostatic weighing or air displacement plethysmography, total body water calculation using isotope dilution analysis, and mineral content measurement by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). [1]

9. Relative fat mass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_Fat_Mass

   Relative Fat Mass (RFM) is a simple formula for the estimation of overweight or obesity in humans that requires only a calculation based on a ratio of height and waist measurements. [ 1 ] High body fat is associated with increased risks of poor health and early mortality. [ 2 ]
