Asian Americans face a higher risk of type 2 diabetes & heart disease at lower BMIs (due to different fat distribution). In 2004, the WHO suggested making obesity ≥27.5 kg/m² for Asians to address these risks.
But 4.75 billion people — over half of the world's population — lives in Asia, with vast within-group diversity. So does one BMI threshold really fit all?
For example, in one of the most extensive analyses examining BMI cutoffs (~1.5 million people in the UK), researchers found that obesity thresholds should be 23.9 in South Asian, 26.6 in Arab, 26.9 in Chinese, and 28.1 in Black populations — versus 30 for Whites.
With @anthzhong and @askdrfatima, I wrote a piece in @AnnalsofIM about whether BMI thresholds for Asians are a race correction in need of correction. Take a read at our editorial below!

New from @askdrfatima @harvardmed the need for different BMI thresholds to define obesity in Asian populations offers lessons that may help to address existing disparities in health care

The rate of obesity in the U.S. has tripled in the past six decades. Associate professor of medicine @askdrfatima, an obesity specialist at @MassGeneralNews & @harvardmed, seeks to redefine clinical diagnostic guidelines, including the use of BMI.

What do you get when mixing #WeightStigma, high #DrugPrices, and health #inequities? Seriously flawed thinking about #obesity.

The video below starting at 3:51:45 has the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee presentation by @askdrfatima and the committee discussion of the evidence about ultra-processed foods and risk of overweight and obesity: videocast.nih.gov/watch=5460…
Today, the US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reported that there is limited evidence that ultra-processed food intake increases risk of obesity in adults and made an explicit call for more US research on this important topic.
