ABSI (A Body Shape Index) Calculation and Health Risks

One of the modern ways to assess your body health is through ABSI (A Body Shape Index). ABSI uses not only your weight but also waist circumference and height to more accurately estimate central obesity and related health risks.

What is ABSI?

ABSI differs from the traditional Body Mass Index (BMI) by considering waist circumference. This allows it to:

  • Measure central obesity

  • Be independent of BMI

  • Provide a comprehensive health risk analysis

ABSI evaluates fat distribution, especially around the abdomen, helping predict risks for heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic conditions more accurately.

How is ABSI Calculated?

The ABSI formula is as follows:

ABSI=Waist Circumference (cm)BMI2/3×Height (m)1/2\text{ABSI} = \frac{\text{Waist Circumference (cm)}}{ \text{BMI}^{2/3} \times \text{Height (m)}^{1/2} }

Where:

  • Waist Circumference (WC) is measured in centimeters

  • Height is in meters

  • BMI (Body Mass Index) = weight (kg) / (height × height)

This formula accurately reflects the impact of waist size on body structure, making health risk predictions more precise.

ABSI Values and Health Risks

ABSI scores are often normalized using z-scores to account for age and gender:

  • Very Low Risk: ABSI-z < −0.868

  • Low Risk: −0.868 ≤ ABSI-z < −0.272

  • Average Risk: −0.272 ≤ ABSI-z < +0.229

  • High Risk: +0.229 ≤ ABSI-z < +0.798

  • Very High Risk: ABSI-z ≥ +0.798

Z-scores allow for fair comparisons between individuals of different ages and genders.

Advantages of ABSI

  • Reflects Central Obesity: Focuses on abdominal fat

  • More Sensitive than BMI: Evaluates fat distribution, not just weight

  • Comprehensive Health Assessment: Better predicts risks for heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders
