Thanks, Philipp!
Now I realized that before the first use of "switchtobodyfont" I need to write "definebodyfontenvironment". In this case, everything is fine.
I also found another way without definebodyfontenvironment:

\definemeasure[AAA][20.123pt]
\newdimen\BBB \BBB=25.127pt

\starttext
TEXT

% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedAAA{\measure{AAA}}
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedAAA]
AAA \normalizedAAA

% ok
\normalizebodyfontsize\normalizedBBB\BBB
\switchtobodyfont[\normalizedBBB]
BBB \normalizedBBB

\stoptext

Is this code correct? Or it's better for some reason using "definebodyfontenvironment"?
