The ‘science’: …Body mass index (BMI) is used to calculate whether a person is underweight, a healthy weight, overweight or obese for their height… British Asians set lower BMI target: - “…Asians are at higher risk of diabetes than white populations, meaning they should ideally aim for a BMI of 23…” “…Carrying too much weight around your waist increases the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes…” 'Lower' Asian obesity threshold: - “…People from Asian origin are more likely than white people to develop heart disease and type 2 diabetes…”
