Doctor's Note - Written by Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
At 118 pounds, the picture depends on height. For an adult of 5ft 4in this is a healthy weight at BMI 20.1. For an adult of 5ft 8in the BMI of 17.9 falls below the healthy range, and I would want to know whether this is a stable constitutional weight or whether there has been a recent change. A stable weight over many years at 17.9 BMI is a different conversation to a recent unintentional drop to that level.
118 lbs sits at the 5ft 7in healthy-underweight boundary
At 5ft 7in (170cm), 118 pounds gives a BMI of approximately 18.3 - within the healthy range but approaching the 18.5 threshold. At 5ft 8in (173cm) the same weight gives 17.9 - which falls below the healthy BMI range. 118 lbs is one of those weights where a single inch of height makes the difference between healthy and underweight. Adults who are 5ft 7in will find 118 lbs is technically healthy. Adults of 5ft 8in will find it falls below the threshold.
