-- Posted by Anonymous at 6:53 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Does anyone know if there is a BMI they will hospitalise you, say if it's under a certain value or something? (This regarding an eating disorder) Also for those who have been hospitalised for an eating disorder, what was your BMI at the time? I know there are other factors which are taken in to consideration, I just wanted to know if there was a general BMI value.. -- Posted by Leah Louise at 6:57 am on Nov. 23, 2008 its usually 17.5 but anything under is dangerous lol but when u get to 15 (bmi) then they have to tube feed you no matter what -- Posted by Anonymous at 7:01 am on Nov. 23, 2008 Quote: from PwittyBbe at 6:57 am on Nov. 23, 2008 its usually 17.5 but anything under is dangerous lol but when u get to 15 (bmi) then they have to tube feed you no matter what I know from experience that this is not true.

He hasn't mentioned anything about hospitalisation but I guess I was wondering more for interest..
