Overview
Weight loss may be intentional or unintentional.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Malignancies (specifically digestive and non-hematologic), dementia, stroke, parkinson's disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, and oral disorders are more prevalent among individuals >65 years old.[1]
- Endocrine disorders, infections such as TB and HIV, psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and malignancies such as hematologic ones are more prevalent among patients, <65 years of age.[1]
- The chart below demonstrates the cause of unintentional weight loss in adult population. The incidence describes the full range of occurrence described in five studies in older individuals.[2][3][4][5][1][6][7]
