A Body Shape Index (ABSI) Calculator
Estimate body shape risk from waist, BMI and height.
ABSI captures abdominal fat relative to body size — a shape-based risk indicator. Informational only, not medical advice.
The math behind it
ABSI = waist (m) ÷ (BMI^(2/3) × height^(1/2) in m). Higher values indicate more central fat for a given size.
Worked example
85 cm waist, BMI 24, 175 cm → ~0.078.
