The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an emerging health metric that uses simple tape-measure measurements to provide a more nuanced assessment of body composition than the traditional Body Mass Index (BMI). This geometric model is highly effective because it focuses specifically on central body fat, a key predictor of metabolic diseases.

Studies involving thousands of adults have established that the Body Roundness Index (BRI) correlates significantly with long-term health outcomes, showing a 'U-shaped' risk curve where both very low and very high scores increase mortality risk. But what is a normal BRI for men, and how can you interpret your results?
