What is ABSI?

Body Shape Index (ABSI) measures abdominal obesity independent of height and weight, providing better cardiovascular risk assessment than BMI alone.

Clinical Applications

Used to assess mortality risk, cardiovascular disease risk, and metabolic syndrome independent of overall body size.

Risk Interpretation

Higher ABSI values indicate greater abdominal fat concentration and increased health risks, even in normal-weight individuals.
