Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Asian BMI cutoffs different?

Research shows that Asian populations, including Indians, have higher body fat percentage at the same BMI compared to Western populations. The WHO recommends using lower cutoffs for Asians: 23+ is overweight (vs 25 globally) and 25+ is obese (vs 30 globally). Indian health guidelines follow these adjusted cutoffs.
