BMI smaller than 18

For adults a BMI smaller than 18 is not healthy, people with such a small BMI suffer from underweight. For children a BMI smaller than 18 is normal. In near future on this website we will give more specific information about the growth curve and the development of the BMI in children.

Are you suffering underweight? While you eat a lot? Then it is very important that you make an appointment with your family doctor to have investigated what the causes are for your small BMI and how they possibly can be treated.
