The high-stable group had a 46% increased risk for stroke and a 35% increased risk for cardiac events compared to the low-stable group. They also found that considering BRI trajectory helped with ...
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.
A big part of the problem is relying too much on body mass index (BMI), which is often used to define obesity as a BMI over 30 kilograms per square meter (kg/m²) for people of European descent.

The Japanese phrase translates to "Eat until you are eight parts (out of ten) full", [2] or "belly 80 percent full". [3] There is evidence that following this practice leads to a lower body mass index and increased longevity, and it might even help to prevent dementia in the elderly.

The body fat percentage is a measure of fitness level, since it is the only body measurement which directly calculates a person's relative body composition without regard to height or weight. The widely used body mass index (BMI) provides a measure that allows the comparison of the adiposity of individuals of different heights and weights ...
