A member asked:
Is losing 6kg over the course of a year a drastic loss of weight? or at least, smth to be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight loss: The way to determine whether the amount of weight loss or gain is significant is to calculate the percent by which your weight has changed. If it has gone down more than 5% and you do not wish to be losing weight, it is significant.
