Doctor's Note — Written by Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
5.5 stone in an adult context would always prompt investigation. The BMI at 5ft 0in would be approximately 15.1, significantly below the underweight threshold. In children the same weight is a routine developmental milestone. The clinical framework applied to this weight is entirely determined by whether the patient is a child or an adult. A weight chart, a growth centile, and a GP assessment together provide the right picture for each.
