How likely is someone to have a bmi of 13.7?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: But it would be very dangerous and hazardous and indicative of an eating disorder or an end-stage disease like cancer, hiv, etc.

Very underweight.: A BMI of 13.7 is extremely underweight. For example, a person who is 5' 6" tall would weigh only 85 pounds to have that BMI.
