Calculate your ABSI

On this page, you can calculate your body shape index (BSI or ABSI). The ABSI is said to be more accurate than the BMI at predicting health risks by incorporating particularly harmful abdominal fat into the calculation. The ABSI z-score is particularly informative, comparing one's own score with the average values ​​of the population (in the US) and thus determining an above- or below-average risk. Diseases associated with increased abdominal fat include heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, and arteriosclerosis.

This method isn't suitable for pregnant women. It should give reasonable results for black and white, but not for Mexican ethnicity.

Here, the classification as strongly increased is made at >1, as strongly decreased at <-1. Average are values between -0.1 and 0.1. ABSI and ABSI z are more informative than BMI, but are a little more complicated to calculate. You also have to calculate your waist circumference, which may not be easy for one person with limited mobility alone. However, the waist is the part of the body where the unhealthiest fat is stored - visceral fat, which is located inside the abdominal cavity around the internal organs. This visceral fat promotes chronic diseases. However, you should not ignore BMI and the waist to hip ratio can also provide valuable information about your own state of health. It is best to have all three of these values ​​interpreted by experts. Calculation done with the formula and datas of Krakauer, Nir Y.; Jesse C.
