ABSI Calculator (Premature Death Risk)

Calculate your A Body Shape Index (ABSI) to assess premature mortality risk based on waist circumference, BMI, and height.

⚠️

Input Parameters

Enter details for calculation.

ABSI Value

0.0790
BMI: -- kg/m²
💡

Expert Tip

ABSI captures the risk from abdominal fat independent of BMI. A higher ABSI indicates greater premature death risk. Average ABSI is approximately 0.0800.

Calculation Methodology & Details

📐

Formula

ABSI = WC / (BMI^(2/3) × Height^(1/2))

WC is waist circumference in meters, BMI is in kg/m², height is in meters. The index isolates the mortality risk contribution of central adiposity.
