Is 93 pounds underweight for a 5’6 woman?

[Anonymous]

I am 18 years old. I am a bit over 5’6, but I’m only 93 pounds or so. I weighed even less a year ago.
I’m not sure if this is considered unhealthily underweight or not, but I’m worried.

For example, my waist is only at 22 inches.

I’m going to say YES in this case based on your age & height. Online you can find charts on what the ideal weight would be based on your age & height. Feel free to ask your doctor as well & I’m sure your doctor can help you out as well.

That is a BMI of 15.0 and, by the NIH standards, underweight = <18.5

Yes, I’m 5’3 and around 100 lbs and that’s already rlly skinny so I think you are a bit underweight

[JackCarter]

Yes, according to BMI it is... you should put on some weight to be in the "healthy" region

Yes, that's quite underweight. Hard to imagine.

[exitseven]
