Use this calculator to determine your Body Adiposity Index (BAI), which helps you measure body fat percentage based on your height and hip circumference.
Your Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is:
All calculations are based on the research by Richard N. Bergman et al., which provides a mathematical model to estimate body fat percentage using hip circumference and height. Read more about the study here.
The BAI is calculated using the following formula:
For example, if your hip circumference is 95 cm and your height is 1.75 m, your BAI is calculated as:
\[ \text{BAI} = \frac{95}{1.75^{1.5}} - 18 \]
This results in a BAI of approximately 24.8, indicating a healthy range.
The BAI is a method for estimating body fat percentage using hip circumference and height, without needing weight measurements.
While BAI can provide a general estimation, it may not be as precise as other methods like DXA scans.
BAI is generally suitable for adults but may not be accurate for children or elderly individuals.
BAI considers body fat distribution, while BMI only considers weight and height, potentially offering more insight into body composition.
No, BAI is a tool for personal insight and should not replace professional health evaluations.

\text{BAI} = \frac{\text{Hip Circumference in cm}}{\text{Height in m}^{1.5}} - 18
\text{BAI} = \frac{95}{1.75^{1.5}} - 18
\[ \text{BAI} = \frac{\text{Hip Circumference in cm}}{\text{Height in m}^{1.5}} - 18 \]
