evidence final name · Somatisation Psychological Distress
Minimal Weight Loss
Expressions activating this band show no clear evidence of actual weight reduction and may include unrelated health content, perfectionistic themes, or broad stress and diagnostic questions. When weight-related content appears, it is limited to very indirect or minimal cues rather than a definite report of losing weight.
Mild Weight Loss
Expressions activating this band describe early appetite disturbance, reduced intake, bingeing or overeating irregularity, weakness affecting eating, or concern that eating and appetite have become problematic. The emphasis is on disrupted nourishment and emerging weight-related concern rather than confirmed substantial loss.
Moderate Weight Loss
Expressions activating this band describe noticeable or explicitly monitored change in weight, including concern about weight loss, reduced eating due to fatigue, and reports framed in pounds or thresholds. The weight change is concrete enough to be tracked or queried directly.
Severe Weight Loss
Expressions activating this band describe marked unintended loss of body weight over a recent period, often quantified in pounds or stone and sometimes accompanied by references to wasting. The presentation is one of substantial, clinically salient weight reduction.
