Weight loss: His weight is abnormally low for his hight. He has a bmi (body mass index) of 17.6 normal is between 19 and 25. You should have him get evaluated again for his weight to rule out metabolic problems like hyperthyroidism, gastrointestinal absorption problems or behavioral problems like anorexia or bulimia.
