Body adiposity index : ウィキペディア英語版 | Body adiposity index The body adiposity index (BAI) is a method of measuring the amount of body fat in humans. The BAI is calculated without using body weight, unlike the body mass index (BMI). Instead, it uses the size of the hips compared to the person's height. Based on population studies, the BAI is approximately equal to the percentage of body fat for adult men and women of differing ethnicities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Better Index of Body Adiposity )〕 == Formula == The BAI is calculated as:〔(New Method of Calculating Body Fat Unlikely to Replace BMI )〕
Hip circumference (R = 0.602) and height (R = −0.524) are strongly correlated with percentage of body fat. Comparing BAI with "gold standard" dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) results, the correlation between DXA-derived percentage of adiposity and the BAI in a target population was R = 0.85, with a concordance of C_b = 0.95.〔(Is the new BAI better than the old BMI? )〕
