Body roundness index ( <scp>BRI</scp> ) and obesity‐related anthropometrics: Relationship to visceral adiposity, insulin sensitivity index and cardiometabolic risk
BRI, while strongly correlated with visceral adiposity and ISI, does not outperform simpler measures like WC or percentage body fat. Bioimpedance, being non-invasive, demonstrates utility in assessing visceral adiposity in clinical settings. Ethnic-specific thresholds for BRI and WC may improve precision in obesity-related health assessments.
