I was reading about the BRI (Body Roundness Index) on ABC News today (see/watch here). They were comparing with with BMI (Body Mass Index) and saying how many researchers think it’s a more reasonable measure of normal weight vs obesity. The classic example is that of a very muscular, but slim, man who is heavy because of his muscles. His BMI might indicate he is overweight, when he is not. On the other hand, BMI overall seems to underestimate the percentage of Americans who are obese.

The BRI, instead, uses weight and waist measurement. According the article I read today, it’s possible that using BRI that 75% of Americans are obese!

Here are my results. I’m apparently lean to average!
