Body roundness index (BRI) is [an] anthropometric index developed to predict both body fat and the percentage of visceral adipose tissue. 2, record 1, English, - body%20roundness%20index
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Body roundness index(BRI) might be a more accurate measurement than body mass index(BMI) for predicting weight-related health risks... BMI has long been the standard to classify a person's body weight as too low, normal, overweight, or obese. While BMI often reflects a person's body fat amount, it doesn’t account for fat distribution or the amount of muscle mass.... BRI addresses these shortcomings by focusing on a person's height, waist size, and hip size. By taking weight out of the equation, BRI provides a better indicator of how much belly fat(visceral fat) surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. High amounts of belly fat are linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. 3, record 1, English, - body%20roundness%20index

Many Web sites... have charts labelled 500 hPa and Thickness. The latter is sometimes called Relative Topography. The thickness, or relative topography, is the difference in heights between the level at which the pressure is 1000 hPa and that at which it is 500 hPa. This difference in height is a measure of the volume of the air between those two levels. Because volume varies with temperature, the thickness of the layer is a good indicator of the average temperature of the layer. 6, record 8, English, - thickness
