The BVI Number
Waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratio have been recognised by the NHS in the United Kingdom as important measures for obesity and general health.

Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the BVI Number is generated to give an indication of metabolic risk. Those with metabolic syndrome are at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and premature death.
