ASAT index
MetabolismAbdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue index is the volume of subcutaneous fat in the abdominal region adjusted for height.
Like other fat indices, it's normalized by dividing by height squared to enable better comparison between individuals of different body sizes.
Why this matters
By accounting for height differences, this index provides a more personalized assessment of whether your subcutaneous fat levels are appropriate for your body size. Research shows that even this "surface" fat, when excessive relative to body size, contributes to inflammation and metabolic changes. This wellness metric helps track how lifestyle interventions affect your body composition over time, independent of height differences. This is a research-based measurement, not a medical diagnostic tool.
