A Body Shape Index (ABSI) Calculator
Calculate your ABSI from height, weight, and waist circumference.
Inputs
Results
ABSI combines your waist size with height and weight. Higher values suggest more central fat for a given BMI.
Use this ABSI Calculator to calculate A Body Shape Index from your height, weight, and waist circumference. ABSI combines waist size with BMI and height to provide additional information about body shape.
Calculation Method
First, BMI is calculated:
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)²
Then ABSI is calculated:
ABSI = waist circumference (m) ÷ [BMI2/3 × height (m)1/2]
Example
For a person weighing 80 kg, measuring 1.80 m tall, with a 0.90 m waist:
BMI = 80 ÷ 1.80² ≈ 24.69
ABSI ≈ 0.90 ÷ [24.692/3 × 1.801/2] ≈ 0.0791
Important Note
ABSI is a body-shape index, not a diagnosis or direct measurement of body fat or health risk. This calculator returns raw ABSI only and does not calculate an age- and sex-specific ABSI z-score or personal mortality risk.
