[Dysphagia] defining weight loss

This questions may be more for the dietary/nutrition folks...Is there a
gold standard definition for weight gain or weight loss? If a patient
has a 6 lb weight loss in a year, is that considered within normal
fluctuation? I am unable to locate any formal definitions of weight
loss/gain. Any advice or thoughts?
Thanks.
Phyllis
