Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A significant drop in BMI over a year with regular meals and no disordered eating practices or eating disorder could be a sign of an underlying health issue such as cancer or another serious chronic disease. Therefore, Esther's physician should investigate potential medical causes for her weight loss, rather than providing dietary interventions or assuming that her BMI is in the healthy range.
