[quote=Anonymous]BMI calculators put a BMI below 17.5 as anorexic. PPs who say that obesity is the cause of far more deaths are IMO a bit off point. Those deaths are throughout the general population and include deaths from long term diabetes, heart conditions, etc which can be the result of obesity. Among young people, there are few deaths from obesity because it hasn't done enough long term damage yet. On the other hand, anorexia can and does cause deaths among young people. I say this as the mother of a DD who has had an anorexia range BMI for a year owing to a nonpsychiatric medical condition. You bet her doctors are very worried and watch it very closely.[/quote]
