Weight Gain

Being underweight can be a cause of stress and anxiety, especially if you perceive your appearance negatively. This may be a concern if you are an athlete or someone who is naturally thin who wishes to be bigger, stronger and more muscular.

You may be underweight following disease or surgery and be struggling to gain weight even though you feel you are eating more food and eating more often.

Elderly people lose weight through self-neglect. Perhaps they have lost dexterity in their hands, are experiencing a gradual loss of taste and smell, or simply lost interest in cooking and preparing meals.

Being underweight increases your risk of malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, osteoporosis, heart failure and cancer.
