Body Adiposity Index Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is:

\[ BAI = \left( \frac{HIP}{HEIGHT^{1.5}} \right) - 18 \]

Where:

\( HIP \) is your hip circumference (cm).
\( HEIGHT \) is your height (m).

Example

Let's say the hip circumference (\( HIP \)) is 100 cm and the height (\( HEIGHT \)) is 1.75 m. Using the formula:

\[ BAI = \left( \frac{100}{1.75^{1.5}} \right) - 18 \]

We get:

\[ BAI = \left( \frac{100}{2.324} \right) - 18 \approx 25.2 \% \]

So, the Body Adiposity Index (\( BAI \)) is approximately 25.2%.

What is BAI?

BAI stands for Body Adiposity Index. It is used to estimate the total amount of weight on your body that is fat. It should be noted that this is only an estimation, and there are many ways to estimate body fat amounts and percentages.
