More Than Skin Color: Ethnicity-Specific BMI Cutoffs For Obesity Based on Type 2 Diabetes Risk in England 2021

The results show that to predict development of diabetes, the cutoff BMI of 30 kg/m2 (obesity) for the White population was at par with 28.1 kg/m2 for Black population, 26.9 kg/m2 for the Chinese, 26.6 kg/m2 for Arab and 23.9 kg/m2 for South Asian adults.

A lower cutoff BMI of 25 kg/m2 (overweight) in White adults, translated to a BMI of 23.4 kg/m2 for Black, 22.2 kg/m2 for Chinese, 22.1 kg/m2 for Arab, and a much lower BMI of 19.2 kg/m2 for South Asian adults is noted.
