How is the Shape Index different from BMI?

Shape Index is proven to be a much better and more reliable predictor than BMI by a study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine. Unlike BMI, Shape Index takes into consideration where the weight is concentrated. It combines BMI with waist circumference which determines the amount of belly fat a person has. Therefore, with ShapeScale you’ll be able to understand exactly how your body fat is distributed and prevent potential health issues.
