What sould my daughter weigh she is 12 yrs old and anorexic -she is 85 pounds how much should she weigh at 5'2?

Answer 1

I understand that your daughter is roughly 6 stone. I do not believe that your daughter is anorexic as this is a healthy weight. Find a BMI (body mass index) website and then they give good advice once finding the BMI.

Most simple BMI websites will tell you your child's percentile and shows you how healthy they are on a chart.

I am 13years old, about 4'8 and weigh 70 lbs, what I would believe to be a simple check is that without her breathing in can you see her ribs?

Hope this has helped but I truly do not believe that your child is underweight.

Answer 2

At 5'2", a healthy weight for a 12-year-old would typically be between 92-130 pounds. However, it is essential to consult with a medical professional to determine the appropriate weight goal for your daughter's specific situation, considering factors such as her overall health and body composition. Treatment for anorexia should focus on addressing underlying psychological issues and developing a healthy relationship with food and body image.
