BAI and BMI Calculator
Body Adiposity Index (BAI) & Body Mass Index (BMI)
Body Adiposity Index & Body Mass Index comparison calculator help us calculate fat percentage and body mass in human body. The body adiposity index (BAI) estimates the amount of body fat (BF) in humans. Preliminary investigations shows that body adiposity index is a better marker of body fat than body mass index.
Health Risks of Overweight & Obesity
Obesity is recognised as one of the most important risk factors for diabetes type 2. Body Adiposity Index has proven to be a useful tool in estimating the risk. Study found that the elevation of a single unit of BAI represented an increase of 8.4% in the risk of a patient developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.
FORMULA USED:
- BAI = ( HC / (HM ) * 1.5 ) – 18
- BMI = WK / HM2
LEGEND
- BAI = Body Adiposity Index
- HC = Hip Circumference in Centimeter
- HC = Hip Circumference in Centimeter
- BMI = Body Mass Index
- WK = Weight in Kilogram
- HM = Height in Meter
