Appropriate body-mass index for Asian populations and its implications for policy and intervention strategies.
TL;DR: The proportion of Asian people with a high risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is substantial at BMIs lower than the existing WHO cut-off point for overweight (> or =25 kg/m2), but available data do not necessarily indicate a clear BMI cut-offs point for all Asians for overweight or obesity.

TL;DR: The methods used to reconstruct the 1977 NCHS/WHO growth reference are reported, to compare the resulting new curves with the 2007 WHO reference, and to describe the transition at 5 years of age from the WHO standards for under-fives to these new curves for school-aged children and adolescents.
