cut-offs gen.

[littlemoor]

У меня еще один вопрос.
Подскажите, пожалуйста,как переводится слово cut-offs:

Hence, this paper investigates the evolution over time of overweight and obesity among ever-married Indian women (15-49 years) from selected 'underweight states' (Bihar, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, where underweight proportion is predominant) and 'overweight states' (Kerala, Delhi and Punjab, where overweight is the prime concern), in relation to a few selected socio-economic anddemographic indicators.

This study analysed National Family Health Surveys- NFHS-2 (1998-99) and NFHS-3 (2005-06) following Asian population specific BMI cut-offs for overweight and obesity.

Спасибо большое!

Скорее всего, речь идет про пороговые значения для overweight and obesity: всё то, что выходит за некие рамки, попадает в эти категории.

For adults, WHO defines overweight and obesity as follows:
* overweight is a BMI greater than or equal to 25; and
* obesity is a BMI greater than or equal to 30.
===

вот эти 25 и 30 в пассаже выше и есть cut-offs (или cut-off values, если полностью расписать)
