There are many factors and diagnositic steps to an eating disorder. Weight is usually key, and the most impotant factor in diagnosing an eating disorder is weight in terms of BMI (Body Mass Index) and percentage muscle and percentage body fat. A diagnosis for anorexia also requires other symptoms or signs, such as low blood pressure, low heart rate, organ degeneration, hair loss, and a disordered mental state.
