FAQ
What is ABSI?
A Body Shape Index combines waist circumference with height and weight, so it captures where you carry mass — not just how much.
Why look at ABSI when I have BMI?
Two people with identical BMI can have very different waist sizes, and central fat carries higher metabolic risk; ABSI separates them.
Is the z-score shown exact?
It uses a general adult reference distribution for a rough placement; research studies compute it against matched population tables.
