- The BRI calculator uses a formula that incorporates height and waist circumference to evaluate body roundness.
- Users can input their height, waist circumference, and optionally, their gender and age, to get a personalized BRI value.
- The BRI values are categorized as follows:
- BRI < 3.41: Very lean body shape
- 3.41 ≤ BRI < 4.45: Lean to average body shape
- 4.45 ≤ BRI < 5.46: Average body shape
