A 13 year old girl, 5' 6" tall, who weighs 114 lbs, is in the "Normal Range"
according to the Centers for Disease Control/World Health Organization, with
a Body Mass Index of 18.4. At her age, height, and gender she would be in
the 31st weight percentile, compared to US averages. Although she is at the
low end of normal, and may indeed have an eating disorder, her current
weight is not that extreme by comparison.
