Quick Answer
For Filipinos, the Asia-Pacific BMI standard is more appropriate than the global WHO standard. Normal weight: BMI 18.5–22.9. Overweight: BMI 23–27.4. Obese: BMI ≥27.5. This is because research shows Filipinos and other Asians develop diabetes and heart disease at lower BMI values than Europeans.

What BMI is healthy for Filipinos? ▾
The Department of Health Philippines follows Asia-Pacific guidelines: Normal BMI is 18.5–22.9. Overweight is 23–27.4. Obese is 27.5 and above. A Filipino with BMI 24 — "normal" by WHO standards — is classified as overweight by Asia-Pacific standards used in the Philippines.
Paano kalkulahin ang BMI? ▾
BMI = timbang (kg) ÷ taas² (m²). Halimbawa: 60 kg, 1.60 m: BMI = 60 ÷ (1.60 × 1.60) = 60 ÷ 2.56 ≈ 23.4. Ayon sa pamantayang Asia-Pacific, ito ay nahuhulog sa kategoryang overweight.
