“The body mass index has long been criticized as a flawed indicator of health. A replacement has been gaining support: the body roundness index.” Article unfortunately doesn’t give the freaking formula for chrissakes; it’s “364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference in centimeters / 2π]2 / [0.5 × height in centimeters]2), according to the formula developed by Thomas et al.10”

    Wonder if I’m doing it wrong? I have an athletic build similar to a soccer player, surfer, etc.

    It puts me in the average range but close to obese. I have a six pack LOL.

    I’m interested in other people’s experience with the tool.
