A man in his mid-20s who weighs 52-53 kilos (~115 pounds) and he is 168 cm tall ( ~66 inches), is he considered anorexic?

I would say just skinny. Anorexic is more like 45 and under, and Borderline Anorexic is 45-50.

What do you believe?

Just skinny

Borderline anorexic

Anorexic

Anorexic is if you take 20% of their lowest number in their healthy weight range for their height and if they weigh that or less they're anorexic medically. However, I feel like anorexia is more of a mental thing that manifests itself physically. You don't become anorexic naturally.

So 20% is 40 and something, if we consider BMI 18 as the minimum amount of healthy weight.
My BMI is 18.4 I checked. Some people say BMI isn't accurate but what if you have low muscle mass?

I don't think my muscle mass is big.

Very skinny but not anorexic

I'd just say shrimpy.

Anorexia isn't a body type... it is an eating disorder.

If he was taller he'd been anorexic.

I eat burritos bigger than that
