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

There are several well known risk factors for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures such as age, sex, low body weight, a low bone mineral density, a past fragility fracture, having a parent who had a hip fracture and a past history of fall(s). Less well known are which medications and medical conditions can increase the risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures either by causing more thinning of bones, by increasing the risk of falls or both. Osteoporosis that results from having another disease or condition or from the treatment of another condition is called secondary osteoporosis. 2, record 2, English, - secondary%20osteoporosis

Il y a plusieurs facteurs de risque bien connus associés à l’ostéoporose et aux fractures ostéoporotiques, tels que l’âge, le sexe, une densité minérale osseuse basse et avoir subi une fracture dans le passé. Moins connus sont les médicaments et les conditions médicales qui peuvent augmenter le risque d’ostéoporose et fractures ostéoporotiques soit en provoquant l’amincissement des os, en augmentant le risque de chutes, ou les deux. L’ostéoporose qui survient suite à une autre maladie ou condition ou le traitement d’une autre maladie ou condition est appelé ostéoporose secondaire. 2, record 2, French, - ost%C3%A9oporose%20secondaire

Etidronate is used to treat a certain type of bone disease called Paget's disease. This disease weakens and deforms bones. Etidronate works by slowing bone loss, helping to keep your bones strong and less likely to break. It also helps reduce bone pain from this disease. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. Etidronate is also used to prevent or treat bone problems that may occur after hip replacement surgery or spinal cord injury. 2, record 3, English, - etidronate%20disodium
