A recently-published study suggests that a body 'roundness' index may be a better measure of health than body mass index . The article, called 'Body Roundness Index and All-Cause Mortality Among US Adults,' was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association this month.

was found to be superior over other anthropometric indicators in estimating the risk for various clinical end points, including cardiometabolic disease, kidney disease, and cancer,' the study claimed. Researchers also said that their findings suggested that BRI 'may be promising as a newer anthropometric measure associated with all-cause mortality.
