[quote=Anonymous]My brother and FIL have this issue. They have both been about 5'9" and 115 lbs most of their adult life. They just have little interest in food but are perfectly healthy although underweight. My FIL was sent by the army to the old Walter Reed Army medical center during WWII to be studied b/c of his weight. They did not find anything wrong. He's perfectly healthy and had no problems doing 6 mile marches with 50 lbs+ backpack worth of gear. My brother does Cross Fit and does ultra marathons and marathons as an adult. Usually places in the top three for his age group. If there are no health issues, I'd let it go. There is inherently nothing wrong with being underweight and there are many studies that show that underweight animals including humans live longer and have fewer health problems than avg weight and over weight animals.[/quote]
