BMI Scale Comparison
Standard BMI Scale
- Underweight: < 18.5
- Normal: 18.5 - 24.9
- Overweight: 25.0 - 29.9
- Obese: ≥ 30.0
Asian BMI Scale
- Underweight: < 18.5
- Normal: 18.5 - 22.9
- Overweight: 23.0 - 27.4
- Obese: ≥ 27.5
Why different scales? Research shows that Asian populations have higher risks of diabetes and cardiovascular disease at lower BMI levels. The Asian BMI scale uses lower thresholds to better identify health risks in Asian populations.
