Underweight for Class 1

Hey,

I have a friend in a situation where the National Caa involved will not issue them with there Class 1 as they say that the person in question is underweight (Female and bmi is like 21). This person in my opinion is by no means anorexic but comes from a family where there seems to be a tendency of being very small physically. I yesterday spoke with the head medical officer of the countries national airline and was told by him that there is nothing in the JAA regulations which states about being underweight. I would appreciate if somebody could offer some advice or suggestions.

Many Thanks
