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. Body adiposity index - Wikipedia

   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

   BMI vs. Body Fat Percentage. BMI and body fat percentage are both ways of determining whether a person has a healthy weight or not. A high BMI can indicate a high body fat percentage, but it’s ...

5. Waist-to-height ratio - Wikipedia

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

   Body fat percentage – Total mass of fat divided by total body mass, multiplied by 100; Body mass index – Relative weight based on mass and height (Total mass divided by the square of height) Body roundness index – Body scale based on waist circumference and height; Body shape – General shape of a human body

6. Body surface area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_surface_area

   In the following formulae, BSA is expressed in m 2, weight (or, more properly, mass) W in kg, and height H in cm. The most widely used is the Du Bois formula, [4] [5] which has been shown to be equally as effective in estimating body fat in obese and non-obese patients, something the Body mass index fails to do. [6]

7. Lean body mass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_body_mass

   Instead, the body fat percentage, which is the complement, is computed, and is typically 10–40%. The lean body mass (LBM) has been described as an index superior to total body weight for prescribing proper levels of medications and for assessing metabolic disorders, as body fat is less relevant for metabolism. LBW is used by anesthesiologists ...
