A member asked:
Is 130 pounds at 5'8 considered underweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How do you FEEL?: The "healthy weight" tables you've seen are subscientific. Most elite runners and track-and-field athletes are "underweight" If you're trim and able to keep up with the sports you enjoy, you're fine.
