However, BMI may not correspond to the same degree of fatness in different populations due, in part, to different body proportions. The health risks associated with increasing BMI are continuous and the interpretation of BMI gradings in relation to risk may differ for different populations. </p> <p>In recent years, there was a growing debate on whether there are possible needs for developing different BMI cut-off points for different ethnic groups due to the increasing evidence that the associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and body fat distribution differ across populations and therefore, the health risks increase below the cut-off point of 25 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> that defines overweight in the current WHO classification. </p> <p>There had been two previous attempts to interpret the BMI cut-offs in Asian and Pacific populations<sup><font size="1">3,4</font></sup>, which contributed to the growing debates. Therefore, to shed the light on this debates, WHO convened the Expert Consultation on BMI in Asian populations (Singapore, 8-11 July, 2002)<sup><font size="1">5</font></sup>. </p> <p>The WHO Expert Consultation<sup><font size="1">5</font></sup> concluded that the proportion of Asian people with a high risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is substantial at BMI&#39;s lower than the existing WHO cut-off point for overweight (= 25 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup>). However, the cut-off point for observed risk varies from 22 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> to 25 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> in different Asian populations and for high risk, it varies from 26 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> to 31 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> . The Consultation, therefore, recommended that the current WHO BMI cut-off points (Table 1) should be retained as the international classification. </p> <p>But the cut-off points of 23, 27.5, 32.5 and 37.5 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> are to be added as points for public health action. It was, therefore, recommended that countries should use all categories (i.e. 18.5, 23, 25, 27.5, 30, 32.5 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup> , and in many populations, 35, 37.5, and 40 kg/m<sup><font size="1">2</font></sup>) for reporting purposes, with a view to facilitating international comparisons. </p> </span></td> </tr> </table> <p><br /> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <script> // You can change the values of object "bmi" var bmi = { font : "Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif", title : "Body Mass Index Calculator 3D", color : ["#000000","#000000"], // Title, Links bgimage : "http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/bg.png", measure : 0, // 0=metric system / 1=american system (feets, inches & pounds) prude : 0, // decimal : ".", // "," or "." small : 0, // 0: width=468 pixel / 1: width=350 pixel rendertext: ["Male","Female","Fat","Normal","Ripped","Sorry, no 3D view for this BMI (yet).","Nude"], // male,female,fat,normal,muscle,norender,nude textcolor : ["#000000","#000000","#000000"], // sexradio,fatradio,norender size : { range : [150,220,10,175], // min,max,step,start slider : ["http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/scroll.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/1.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/3.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/2.png"], // background,button,button clicked,button out of range text : ["Height"], // label textcolor : ["#000000","#000000"], // text,slider field : ["#000000","#ffffff","#a1c796"] // color,bgcolor,bordercolor }, weight : { range : [50,140,10,75], // min,max,step,start slider : ["http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/scroll.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/1.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/3.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/2.png"], // background,button,button clicked,button out of range text : ["Weight"], // label textcolor : ["#000000","#000000"], // text,slider field : ["#000000","#ffffff","#a1c796"] // color,bgcolor,bordercolor }, bmi : { range : [18,36,1,22], // min,max,step,start () slider : ["http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/scroll.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/1.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/3.png","http://www.bmi-club.com/images/skin/green/2.png"], // background,button,button clicked,button out of range text : ["BMI"], // label textcolor : ["#000000","#000000"], // text,slider field : ["#000000","#ffffff","#a1c796"] // color,bgcolor,bordercolor } }; // Do not change the lines below </script> <div id="bmiinfo">The BMI is determined with the formula weight divided by body height to square.
