The formula to calculate the Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is:
\[ BAI = \left( \frac{HIP}{HEIGHT^{1.5}} \right) - 18 \]
Where:
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%.
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.
Definition: The Body Adiposity Index is a measure of body fat based on hip circumference and height.
Formula: \( BAI = \frac{\text{hip circumference}}{(\text{height})^{1.5}} - 18 \)
Example: \( BAI = \frac{100}{(1.75)^{1.5}} - 18 \)
Definition: The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) is a measure of visceral fat distribution and function.
Formula: \( VAI = \frac{\text{waist circumference}}{39.68 + (1.88 \times \text{BMI})} \times \frac{\text{triglycerides}}{1.03} \times \frac{1.31}{\text{HDL cholesterol}} \)
Example: \( VAI = \frac{85}{39.68 + (1.88 \times 25)} \times \frac{1.5}{1.03} \times \frac{1.31}{1.2} \)
Definition: The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
Formula: \( BMI = \frac{\text{weight}}{(\text{height})^2} \)
Example: \( BMI = \frac{70}{(1.75)^2} \)
Definition: A tool to calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) based on weight and height.
Formula: \( BMI = \frac{\text{weight}}{(\text{height})^2} \)
Example: \( BMI = \frac{80}{(1.8)^2} \)
