Healthy BMI for Asian female is 23 or below, as opposed to 25 or below for a Caucasian person.

If that is the maximum for an asian female, what is the minimum? (I know the minimum for a caucasian person is 18.5) 16.5?

Anjani, I believe that is true

I think the minimum is still 18.5 - the healthiest range for a caucasian is actually 20 to 25. Overall the WHO range 18.5 to 25 (which I think is for all races).
