[1] [2] The only device needed to determine BRI is a measuring tape for circumference of waist and determination of height. [1] [2] These values are factored with an eccentricity equation in a calculator. [1] [2] BRI is calculated as 364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference / (2 π)] 2 / [0.5 × height 2) which simplifies as follows.
Leonardo da Vinci developed rules for drawing human proportions. For example, human body height is to be the length of eight heads, with an additional one-quarter head for neck length. Leg length is to be four head lengths. [1] Forensic estimation of stature is part of the identification process necessary when dismembered body parts are found.
