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.
World Health Organization proposed lowering the BMI cutoff for Asian populations to consider anything 23 or higher as overweight
China and Japan define overweight as a BMI of 24 or higher and obesity a BMI of 28 or higher; in India, overweight is defined as a BMI of 23 or higher, and obesity, a BMI of 27 or higher.
Waist Circumference Cut Points: Male: ≥ 90 cm Female: ≥ 80 cm
These ranges of BMI values are valid only for the Southeast Asian body type:

GNU/Linux on old hardware
* Damn Small Linux - a very popular low-resource Linux, based on Debian and Knoppix. Runs on a 486 in a graphical mode,
* DeLi Linux - this is a real pearl. DeLi stands for “Desktop Light” Linux. It is capable of running on a 386 computer in a graphical mode! Lately, version 0.7 has been released. Certainly worth trying on some very old PCs.
* Zenwalk - minimal requirements for Zenwalk are: Pentium III, 128 Mb RAM and 2Gb HDD. However, it can be run pretty fine on PII, as well. Zenwalk is a modern Linux distro for low-resource PC-s.
With DSL and Zenwalk, you can either use a live CD or install them as full-featured systems on your hard drive. Both ways, you get a fast and reliable system working great even on a very old PC. Some more distros you may be interested in are: Puppy Linux, SaxenOS (STX Linux) or Wolvix. More information about those distros (including hardware requirements) can be found on projects’ webpages.

Innovation in Finland
Internationally best-known Finnish technology innovation is, of course, Nokia. The successful story of mobile phones, however, is only one example. Linux, Benecol, Metso, Polar Electro, Suunto, Fiskars, and Exel are all world-class brands of Finnish origin.
