A member asked:
Is my 9 y/old daughter underweight if she looks so skinny and is showing her ribs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have her checked: Looking skinny can be subjective. She needs proper evaluation especially if she is experiencing recent weight loss or is without underlying medical condition(s) limiting adequate weight gain.
