Q: What is weight change?

Weight change describes any significant alteration in body weight from an established baseline — either upward (weight gain) or downward (weight loss). When intentional, weight change reflects dietary and lifestyle modification. When unintentional, it is clinically significant and requires investigation.

Any significant modification in body weight — either gain or loss — whether deliberate or unexplained.
