Message definition (Body mass index)
===International variations===
These recommended distinctions along the linear scale may vary from time to time and country to country, making global, longitudinal surveys problematic. People from different populations and descent have different associations between BMI, percentage of body fat, and health risks, with a higher risk of [[type 2 diabetes mellitus]] and [[Atherosclerosis|atherosclerotic]] cardiovascular disease at BMIs lower than the [[World Health Organization|WHO]] cut-off point for overweight, 25&nbsp;kg/m<sup>2</sup>, although the cut-off for observed risk varies among different populations. The cut-off for observed risk varies based on populations and subpopulations in Europe, Asia and Africa.
