Body Adiposity Index (BAI) Calculator
Understanding Body Adiposity Index (BAI)
The Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is a method of estimating body fat percentage in adult humans. Unlike Body Mass Index (BMI), BAI is calculated without using body weight.
BAI Formula:
- BAI = [Hip Circumference (cm) / (Height (m)1.5)] – 18
How to measure:
- Height: Measure your height without shoes.
- Hip Circumference: Measure around the widest part of your hips/buttocks.
BAI provides an alternative to BMI and may correlate better with body fat percentage in some populations. However, like any estimation method, it has limitations.

Estimate your body fat percentage using height and hip circumference.
Note: BAI is an estimate. For precise body fat assessment, consult a healthcare professional. Ensure measurements are accurate for best results.
