About ABSI
ABSI (A Body Shape Index) is a measure that combines waist circumference with BMI and height to predict mortality risk. It captures abdominal obesity better than BMI alone.
Understanding ABSI
How ABSI Works
ABSI normalizes waist circumference for BMI and height, providing a measure of abdominal obesity that is independent of overall body size. Higher ABSI values indicate greater abdominal fat relative to body size.
Z-Score Interpretation
- Below -0.5: Below average risk
- -0.5 to 0.5: Average risk
- 0.5 to 1.0: Above average risk
- 1.0 to 2.0: High risk
- Above 2.0: Very high risk
