Does BMI diagnose health or measure body fat?

No. BMI is a screening measure and does not directly measure body fat or replace an individual health assessment.

Is this an age-specific calculator for children?

No. The interface uses fixed categories and has no age or sex inputs. Children and teens need age-specific interpretation rather than these adult-style labels.
