An increase in ABSI over time (rising ABSI) is associated with higher mortality risk, whereas a decrease or stability in ABSI is associated with lower risk, even when controlling for baseline ABSI.

Monitor how your Body Shape Index (ABSI) changes over time, not just its current value. If your ABSI is increasing, your mortality risk is rising, even if your baseline ABSI was moderate. Conversely, a decreasing or stable ABSI is associated with lower risk. This dynamic measure may be more informative than tracking BMI changes alone.
