Abstract EN
We present preliminary clinical experience with combined consideration of the commonly used BMI (body mass index) and the newly developed ABSI (a body shape index) using a point of care anthropometric calculator for comparisons of index values and associated relative risks to population normals.
In a series of 282 patients, BMI and ABSI were close to being independently distributed, supporting the value of considering both indices.
Three selected cases illustrate scenarios where assessment of ABSI together with BMI could inform patient care and counseling.
These data suggest that combined assessment of BMI and ABSI may prove useful in clinical practice.
