Body Roundness Index doesn’t use weight and may become the new measurement.

Researchers say the index is a more accurate way to determine a person’s health because it emphasizes belly fat more.

BMI has had its detractors for a long time, but it may be over soon after the development of the BRI .

Those who are older and have lower BRIs ( less than 3.4 ) have a significant risk of death because they may be malnourished due to poor health.

The researchers also found that BRI did a better job at calculating a person’s body composition than BMI .
