Your index value info

The calculated index based on the input you have given. A lower value is better, but the value itself does not say much about the risk.

The average ABSI value for the entered age and sex of the USA population sample on which the research was based.

Your relative risk info

The health risk for a given ABSI or BMI index, age and sex. A lower value means a lower risk. The calculated risk is relative to the average risk of the USA population sample on which the research was based. A risk factor of 1 means an average risk, while a risk factor of 2 means that a person has twice as much chance of dying of the results of overweight and obesity as the average American of the age and sex you entered.

Rel. risk interval info

The interval in which the health risk for the calculated ABSI or BMI index falls with a 95% certainty. The relative risk listed above is the center value of this interval.

ABSI information

With ABSI, you may notice a strange effect: when the weight increases but the waist circumference stays the same, the calculated risk will decrease. If the weight increases but the waist circumference stays the same, it means the weight is better distributed over the body. Also remember that ABSI is a relative risk indicator: it shows your risk in relation to other people of your gender and age.

During the current coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic, ABSI Calculator can help you monitor whether your health risk has increased or not as a result of an increased weight.
