You might feel like you can’t live without them. Is it really true love, or the nearness of them that you’re falling for? Share on Pinterest Westend61/Getty Images Pop culture teems with so-called “love songs” that more likely express attachment than love. You can throw a dart and hit questionable lyrics. Are the fervent feelings an outpouring of loving sentiment or a cry of codependency? Hard to tell. If you’re feeling chronically anxious in your relationship, understanding the difference between mutual love, healthy attachments, and unhelpful attachments might be the first step in growing toward something lasting, together. Difference between love and attachment How you feel and act in the relationship is probably the best indicator of whether the strong emotions you feel are love or attachment. Love evokes fond feelings and actions toward the other person, particularly. Attachment is driven by how you feel about yourself with the degree of permanence and safety someone gives you, based on your past relationships. In other words, with love, your person is “the one” you have feelings for.

What age is low weight?

Weight-for-age reflects body mass relative to chronological age. Low weight-for-age identifies the condition of being light or underweight for a specific age and reflects the process of gaining insufficient weight relative to age or losing weight.

Child growth is internationally recognized as an important indicator of nutritional status and health in populations. As weight is easy to measure, this is the indicator for which most data have been collected in the past. Evidence has shown that the mortality risk of children who are even mildly underweight is increased, and severely underweight children are at even greater risk. Thus, monitoring weight-for-age can help assess the contribution of growth promotion programs to mortality reduction. Weight-for-age reflects body mass relative to chronological age. Low weight-for-age identifies the condition of being light or underweight for a specific age and reflects the process of gaining insufficient weight relative to age or losing weight. Since weight-for-age is influenced by both the height of the child and by its weight, the indicator reflects both past (chronic) and/or present (acute) undernutrition. This indicator is also a measure of health and nutritional risk in a population. Underweight, based on weight-for-age, is recommended as the indicator to assess changes in the magnitude of malnutrition over time.
